powerful verse

Mark 7:9 ... "You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions!"
Jesus here was pretty fired up and he was all guns blazing at the Pharisees who were missing the point.
I wonder what he would say to a church that has the scriptures that say ...
Acts 2:37-38 "Brothers, what shall we do [to be saved]?" Peter replied, "Repent and be baptised ..."
But instead we follow a tradition begun a couple hundreds years later of baptising children instead of baptising a person making a decision to follow Jesus.
Interesting!
