*sighs* How many threads now do we have on this topic?
I personally believe that baptism saves. Infants, like all people, are sinners and hence need baptism to be saved.
Some religious groups believe that regeneration comes through baptism. So, when an infant is baptised, he or she is regenerated, or born again through the baptism. Then when the child reaches the age of 12 or 13, they go through a ritual, involving the bishop laying hands on them to be confirmed in the faith and to receive the baptism with the Spirit.Hi Family,

Is there a bible verse that supports this? The infant is being saved by another's decision?*sighs* How many threads now do we have on this topic?

Hu? You come into a thread to not answer the thread question? Im confused.
Sadly, Martin Luther persecuted them, too...., they were slaughtered in their hundreds by the established church in the belief that anyone who rejected infant baptism was a heretic and therefore subject to capital punishment.
There is a repeat for almost every thread..comes with being a sizable forum.*sighs* How many threads now do we have on this topic?

Infants are able to respond to grace. Every human needs saving. From death, seperation from God, and sin, whether they themselves have sinned individually, or not. Thus, infants are candidates for baptism, too.Hi Family,

Unfortunately so. The English Puritans treated the Anabaptists as heretics as well and persecuted them.Sadly, Martin Luther persecuted them, too.
How do infants respond to grace? How can you gauge? So someone else is taking a persons free will by baptizing them?Infants are able to respond to grace. Every human needs saving.

Here is a sound track to go with that image...That actually made me laugh out loud.
Well, John the Baptist leapt in the womb of his mother. Just at the sound of Mary's voice, who carried within her Christ.How do infants respond to grace? How can you gauge?
