Passage for childs baptism?

Jesus was not baptized until he was a man. I thought the word "CHRISTIAN" meant follower of Christ.\n\nSorry, the baptism of children who are not at an age of accountability is a man made teaching contrary to Jesus example.\n\nThere is NO biblical record of a CHILD being baptized.

I was baptized as a baby in a traditional church and as an adult in a Charismatic church.  Next trip to Israel, I may do it again in the Jordan.  Not that I feel  I need to, but just thought it would be nice and honorable to the Lord Jesus.  He did it as an adult.\nI Cr 13;8a\n11-19-6

Baptism is the acceptance of Christ.\n\n1) Baptism by the Holy Spirit occurs when you have received Christ into your heart.\n\n2) Baptism by water is an outward expression that you trust Jesus Christ to redeem your soul after you die.

Baptism is an outward expression of an inward faith.  Christ calls us to surrender to Him, through faith alone.  Baptism is only an avenue through which Christians make others aware of the decision they have made to become a Christian.  While Baptism should be strongly encouraged, because of the external witness it provides, it can by no means be considered salvific.  You are saved through faith, not by works, lest anyone should boast in themselves.  (Ephesians 2:8-9).

Well it is up to you have active you are in the ceremony, but personally I would not participate actively in something that I did not believe in. It all depends what it is they're doing though. For example if they are praying then I would stay silent and wait for them to finish, but if they wished me to be a godparent then I would probably have to decline because that would involve me saying things that I did not believe. I wouldn't feel comfortable doing that. You should just see the baptism for what it is, a way for the parents to celebrate the birth of their new child and introduce him to the community. That something we can all enjoy :-)

Trust in the Lord Jesus to lead you. \nA good start is pray.\nAnd how would you like to be welcome if you was being welcome to that church.

No.  Baptism is a profession of faith.  Being baptised does not provide a means for salvation.  Its the other way round, you are baptised as a public profession of your faith in Christ Jesus.\n\nAnd semantically Christian comes from the Greek origin Christos, and means "to be like Christ".  Jesus wouldn't need to perform any action to be like himself!

This is a tradition of man and not Biblical based as the only ones who are candidates for baptism are born again believers. The act of Baptism cant save any one or wash away original sin as some claim as only the blood of Christ can do both.The water birth mentioned in John Ch. 3 is in fact our physical birth and not baptism.

Most people give some type of gift at a baptism, no matter what the age. \n\nA bible, savings bond, money, a chain with a cross, something else sentimental would be my vote for a gift.

I was baptized by immersion at the age of 8 for the remission of my sins. Then I recieved the gift of the Holy Ghost as my companion. I renew these covenants at church every Sunday.

Many Catholic schools offer CCD classes.  Also, if a church parish does NOT have a school, they may still offer CCD classes.\n\nI am so happy to hear you want your little one to learn about her faith and to receive Holy Communion.  If you really want to "bond" consider taking a class or 2 yourself so you can learn more about your faith.  That way, you can grow in love for each other and strengthen your faith.\n\nAfter she makes her Communion, please commit to continue to allow her to get religious education, and take her to church.  So many of the parents in our church parish baptize their baby, have them make their Communion, then fall out of sight.  If it's that important that your child is baptized and makes her communion, it should be important that you practice your faith, too.\n\nGod Bless!

The pouring of water or the going under the water has no real value unless your heart accepts Christ.\n\nIn the Catholic Church, Lutheran Church, Orthodox Churches and Anglican churches, baptism is always done to the children since they are born with orginal sin, and why risk the soul of the young people, Plus of course entire families were baptised in the New Testment so babies would have been included.\n\nThe majoriy of all Christian religions baptise infants.\nNext it was the accepted method for the first 1600 years of the christian Church.  One has to wonder to those who claim it is of Satan, that it was the proper procedue the entire history of christianity untill just recently last few hundred years.\n\nThe traditoin of baptism comes from the Jewish rite of purification, that is why no one had a problem with Johns baptism,  people were cleanses all the time for all types of reasons,  This is combined with the early blessing of the infants in the temple, dedicating them to God.\n\nSo as you grown, and come of age, you are then asked to make a public expression of your faith, choice to follow God,  in most churches that is called confirmation.\n\nSo you can get baptismed again, it does not do anything extra for you, but can be a sign of you committment, but that is done normally in a confirmation service.\n\nThe Mormoms and a few other churches require a new baptism but it is not bibical to require it.
