Babtized as a baby

(1. Should Christians be babtized as a baby.
(2. Are they actually considered baptized.

I think that if you are baptized as a baby You really wearn't baptized because you haven't made the decision of showing you are going to live a life that is pleasing to God. Therefore i think christains should not be baptized as a baby.

I was baptised as a baby, and I never felt /any/ affinity for religion. I don't consider myself christian in the least. Nor for any other religion. I think it has to be a conscious choice whether it means anything or not.

I personally say no, they shouldn't. If they want to be baptised later on, go for it. But don't force it upon them.

I, personally, have been Baptized three times: 1) In the United church my parent's attended when I was born, 2) In a Catholic chruch when my Grandparents said that wasn't good enough, and 3) about a year ago in my current church

The only one I really count as actually having been batized is the most recent one because I actually know what it stands for and I made the choice to be baptized.
