Infant Baptism verses Adult Baptism.

Churches who practice infant baptism use such scriptures as Psalms to claim that we are born with sin and are unsaved. But others tend to disagree and say, we are born with sinful nature, but not with sin, which a baby could not repent of. Jesus himself was born of a woman; if we were born with sin then Jesus would have been sinless. In Matthew 11:25 Jesus says that things have been revealed to the little children, which are hidden from the wise and learned.

My interpretation of this is that as children grow older, their hearts harden to the knowledge of the world fills them. Some would say that this is when the blood of Christ is needed to cover their sins; this is when they should be baptized. Some also believe that Baptism is a serious step as it is a commitment to a set of beliefs. It is important that the person who is making those beliefs understands what they are saying.

Only an adult can make that choice for himself or herself. It is wrong that parents should make a decision for their children. What if the parents and Godparents don’t live up to the expectations of the Church?   Other people cannot be held responsible for the young persons choice and the Godparent cannot be looking after the child all the time. These were two arguments I cannot say that either or wrong it is just the persons individual choice.
