What age or stage in life can one choose to be a believer? One can only speak on the knowledge he/she have. Do you know that many of Christ disciples in Mat 16:13-15 do not know/believe Christ and his mission even after they had been baptised! Except Peter.... But after Christ left, in Acts, the spirit upon confirmed the whole disciples. That they believed without a doubt about Christ. Infants baptism cannot be done without a guardian. Lydia in Acts 16 invited Paul to come into her household and baptised it's members. No exception. A child guardian will be in place for the baby to recieve baptism. The child will grow in faith then he/she can then choose to be confirmed in the faith. An adult can still receive Christ and deny him the next minute. My view

At any age the Child is ready.

Before you quote the Bible upside down. Water Baptism was done by John the Baptist not Jesus.

2. The scriptures up there was about the identity of Jesus not about the desciples faith or believe in his ability.

When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”

14 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”

15 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”

Now, about Lydia, she wasn't a baby

A certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one who worshiped God, heard us; whose heart the Lord opened to listen to the things which were spoken by Paul

From the bold, she worshiped God, the Lord has already opened her heart, in other words....she believed

Dedication is different from Baptism . Dedication is asking God to protect his own. When the baby is now of age, its now his/her decision to accept that he/she was born a sinner and needed God forgiveness. That's what Baptism stand for.

A baby is not a Christian/believer

A baby is not a Christian. So if a child of say five years dies, she/is going to hell?

So, what's it the child's decision to be protected by a God he doesn't believe in?

When Hannah made a promise to God that Samuel will serve him all his life, was it Samuel decision? The mother made the decision on his behalf. The Bible in proverb said, train up a child in the way he should go and when he's old he will not depart from it. It's the responsibility of the parents to lead their wards in the way of the Lord. You initiate the child in to the family and he grows that way. And when he's of age, he can now stand to confirm his belief.

Remember, there's baptism by water and by fire. A child born in a Christian home has already become a Christian because it's the responsibility of the parents to guide him.
When you teach your children to read the Bible, pray, and to believe in God, what then are you talking about? If a child of 3 years will remind you to always pray before sleeping or before taking his meal, is he not a believer already?

a baby cannot take decision, a child of 5 can. Don't you get it!

You can't baptise people without their knowledge. You can teach them the word of God till they come to that knowledge

Samuel was dedicated not baptised as a baby....Don't fight it. Besides, Water baptism started from the days of John

A baby born in a Christian home is NEVER a Christian

That is the real Mr. White.........

Do understand text before commenting. I never said Christ performed any baptism. My point.... You must not know everything before you get baptised.
NB: that we have different view do not mean that I am quoting the Bible wrongly. One can't know it all or have the complete say when it comes to the word. The way I type and see things might be different from the angle you see things. Let the spirit lead.

you must know the essence of baptism. I never said you must know everything. You are the one that need understanding

I do know what baptism is and what it stands. Your knowledge about baptism might be OK to you, but not me. You can't say that I need more understanding and you don't need it, because your word is final! I shared my views with strong knowledge and believe in what I said. I will continue to seek for more guidance from the Paraclete. Your understanding and view should be shared only. Removing the mindset that ones view is the ultimatum. SHALOM

If only you can show me where a baby was baptised in the bible or where anyone without believe was baptised. Its a shame, we have many spiritual illiterate roaming about as Christians today

alBHAGDADI:

Infant baptism is wrong and not Biblical. One has to be of a certain age before baptism. The requirement for Baptism is believe in Jesus Christ. The baby doesn't have such believe.

Acts 8:36-38
36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.

Notice that Philip didn't baptize the man until the man acknowledged his believe Jesus.

Thank you brother. These days people ignorantly get baptized without been born again by believing and confessing the Lordship of Jesus.

Liliyann:
What is the essence of baptizing a baby that does not even the significant of it?

Am really happy you asked, I was wondering too, why baptize a child, I haven't seen such in the Bible. It is a personal choice to make such decisions. This is why the world is the way it is, we were all pushed into practicing religion and not having a relationship with God, we were all indoctrinated from birth. Many call themselves Christians but no relationship with God. Its sad.

Didnt know we have White Albinos...

alBHAGDADI:


Jesus call for chidkren to come to him never means they should get baptized. His apostle clearly states in Acts 8 that the requirement for Baptism is believe in Jesus. Children don't have that believe yet because they can't wrap their head around it.

Where are the believer's children called Holy seed?

1 Corinthians 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.


You will understand it better when read from verse 1
