I’ve heard some say Acts 8:37 argues against infant baptism because since Phillip required a profession of faith from the Ethiopian Eunuch before baptizing him, then you can only be baptized after professing faith in Christ. Does this verse really refute infant baptism?

I know this verse does not appear in every translation as it’s not found in the earliest manuscripts, but for the sake of the argument, I’m including it here because I’m curious how Lutherans respond to this argument, since it gets used in opposition to infant baptism.
