    I was taught to baptize "in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit" - and all babies should be baptized as soon as possible.  Those are the two things I remember about baptism.

    It really depends on your denomination.  What does the bible say?

    There cometh one mightier than I after
    me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop
    down and unloose. {1:8} I indeed have baptized you with
    water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost. {1:9}
    And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from
    Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.
    {1:10} And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw
    the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending
    upon him: {1:11} And there came a voice from heaven,
    [saying,] Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well
    pleased. {1:12}

    Ye know not what ye
    ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized
    with the baptism that I am baptized with? {10:39} And they
    said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall
    indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism
    that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized: {10:40} But
    to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to
    give; but [it shall be given to them] for whom it is prepared.
    {10:41}

    Amen!!
    The word here gives us the answer to this question from the mouth of Jesus Christ himself smile

    Where in the scripture do you find a baby being baptized?
    Circumcised yes, baptized...??
    Baptism (Mikvah) was always done with someone who knew what it meant and why they were doing it.

    true Jesus was baptized as he was old enough to understand these things, while he was an adult.
    I was baptized as an adult. I made the decision on my own. Though I do not think there is anything wrong with babies being baptized, it should be a decision for the individual to make as they grow from a child into an adult, from an unbeliever to a believer, from one who is too young to understand into one with the understanding of its importance.
    This is my perspective on it as it pertains to scripture.

    Baptism is the new "circumcision" for all people of the New Covenant so the question should be why would children be excluded from Baptism?

    This web page on the Sacrament of Baptism lists many Bible verses about Baptism including why infants should be Baptized, there's lots.

    The thing I find in the scripture is baptism being associated with resurrection and done after a person repents from known sin.
    An infant does not fit this requirement at all.

    Again, anytime in scripture baptism is done is with a person who knows what they are doing with full knowledge as to why.

    The new circumcision is done in the heart now, nothing to do with baptism.
    Scripture says to have your heart circumcised.

    Going into the water of baptism dead, then coming up alive in Messiah.
    Holy Spirit circumcises your heart.

    I guess you didn't read all the verses mentioned on that web page I posted underhiswings, like I say there are a lot of incidences in the Bible that refer to infant Baptism.

    You wouldn't exclude children from baptism, as you are correct this is the spiritual circumcision, they would however have to be old enough to know the purpose behind the ordeal. I've seen children as young as 7 or 8 being baptized, speaking in tounges thereafter and the whole deal.

    Under no circumstance should a baby be baptized NEVER.
    Baptism in the Holy Ghost has nothing to do with water baptism.
    See Acts 8:12-16 and you will see that these people were in fact baptized in the name of Jesus yet the Holy Ghost had fallen on none of them. It's a totally different part of the new birth experience.

    I don't know what what Bible you're reading buddy but the 6 that I have bare no record of infant baptism.

    what???

    i thought infants were always baptized so that if they perished suddenly, their souls wouldn't be trapped in Purgatory. it was like a routine thing for infants to be baptized where i come from.
