Yeah, there is a lot to consider in this vein.
Babies are baptized because Church teaching was that unbaptized people go to Hell automatically. Lots of babies used to die, so you baptized them ASAP to prevent them from going to Hell if they died early.
But if God is all-knowing, all-loving and all-powerful... then this makes no sense. An all-knowing and all-loving being would never damn a baby over baptism. An all-powerful being could bring an unbaptized person to Heaven.
So to insist babies should be baptized is to DENY God as all-knowing, all-loving and all-powerful. It is a MORTAL SIN to deny God. It's sacrilege.
If you continue this line of thinking.....
If God is an all knowing, all powerful being, why would he make his truth only in one religion, one book? You'd think you'd be able to find truth regardless of where you were born. Does God just damn everyone thats never heard of Christianity? Does he damn people in Africa who don't have the ability to comprehend faith?
None of that makes any sense if God is an all knowing all powerful and loving being.
If he's that, he wouldn't damn anyone at all for anything. I think he would give them infinite chances to learn about his creation, use their free will how they choose.

God has showed up in dreams, visions, and interactions in other parts of the world though, ex:

The official Church line was that people who never got a chance to accept Jesus were off the hook, AFAIK.
Which makes the whole "bring the Word of God to the world" thing weird. You could just get rid of Christianity and therefore save everyone.
I think the counter balance is supposed to be "Jesus died for your sins" thing, and so we have to minimize sin to minimize His suffering.
Sounds like a plug for reincarnation there, haha.
My Jesuit religion teacher in high school would say all religions are ladders to the same roof. You can make all of them work with the same God expressing Himself different ways if you want to.
