Does this tradition include infant baptism?
You can baptise your infant, but not have to. Many baptised in childhood, but not as infants.
Does your tradition teach that an infant is then saved and reborn?
Baptism is not saving. It is reborn in Christ. Part of saving.
Exactly my point.
You think people can be reborn in Christ because you willed it and put water on them against their own will? That's false Catholic / Orthodox tradition. And since it's a matter of salvation it's important to get that right.
So then do you believe the infant who was baptized is now a new creature in Christ? Reborn without any repentance or choice of allegiance whatsoever?
I just used the very definitions you gave.
You claimed Baptism is being reborn in Jesus and that infants can be baptized.
You then resort to speaking profane things, like an unsaved person would. You are talking like an angry drunk at a bar.
It's because the truth is at odds with your tradition.
