Where can I find reference to infant baptism in the Bible?

No reference from the Bible. Infant Baptism is a man made doctrine.

Acts 2:38 says: Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."

Repentance requires the ability to think about one's condition and enough awareness and maturity to understand what it means to "turn away" from sin and accept God's Word as the direction for our lives. One must have both faith and repentance before being baptized.

Because a newborn child cannot have faith, in a biblical sense, and he cannot repent, he has no need of baptism "for the forgiveness of sins�. Baptizing a baby would serve no purpose.

Exactly, it serves no purpose at all!

You won't find it in God's word but I certainly won't say you won't find it in some of this other stuff out where people have added, subtracted, changed words, distorted and twisted the scriptures.
