Summarized the two opposing doctrines of infant baptism salvation and believers' baptism, salvation by faith alone - also External link to https://blogs.ancientfaith.com/orthodoxyandheterodoxy/2015/02/17/born-experience-baptismal-regeneration/
The phrase "''born again by faith in the word of God''", "''born again by faith in the Lord''", "''born again by faith''", is not found in the New Testament.<ref>See for example [https://www.openbible.info/topics/being_born_again_ '''100 Bible Verses about Being Born Again''' (openbible.info)]. <br>Being saved by faith is proclaimed. <br>Being born of God is proclaimed. <br>Being born by the washing of regeneration is proclaimed. <br>Being saved by the blood of Christ is proclaimed. <br>But no passage of scripture has the explicit phrase "born by faith" or "born again by faith". The term "born again" is not found together with the term "faith" in any text of the Bible. The term "born again" is not found together with the term "saved" in any passage of the Bible.</ref>

In summary:
*Infant baptism is a sacrament instituted by Christ that of itself regenerates, washes away sin, and saves, by being born again of water and the Spirit.
*Believers' baptism is an ordinance instituted by Christ that of itself does not regenerate, does not wash away sin, and cannot save, but being born again by faith alone saves.
