Because one could not be baptized into Christ before his death and resurrection. Christ came to and did fulfill the law, part of which was to be circumcised on the 8th day. Baptism is not something we do for God, it is something he does for us; for infants, four year olds, and 8 and 98 yr olds. It also can and should be done for those mentally challenged, learning disabled, even those with dementia. Because mental capacity does not determine God’s ability to do his work in us, God be praised!
