Baptism is an outward gesture of a person's birth as the child of Christ through his bride, the holy Church. We receive our life without our consent and the same way we become the children of Christ without our consent. Holy Spirit acts while a child is being baptized and it becomes part of Christ thereby.

To prevent escape, and to reinforce the notion that it is normal and harmless. The Church can still claim anyone who has been baptized as a member, even if they have renounced their faith, because most apostates don't get themselves officially excommunicated.

Compare this case with the people who buy laptops with Windows Prue-installed and wipe this off to install Linux. Microsoft still count them among "Windows users" unless they send back their license key (which most people don't bother to do).

Infant baptism or christening[1][2][3] is the Christian religious practice of baptizing infants or young children. In theological discussions, the practice is sometimes referred to as baptismpt ismedobaptism from the Greek pais meaning "child." The practice is sometimes contrasted with what is called "believer's baptism," or credobaptism, from the Latin word credo meaning "I believe," which is the religious practice of baptising only individuals who personally confess faith in Jesus, therefore excluding under aged children.*** g86 10/8 p. 26 Baptism?Is It for Infants? ***
Church leaders have merely ?indulged in rhapsodies of emotion as a substitute for substantial argument.? (Infant Baptism and the Covenant of Grace, by Paul K. Jewett) Where, then, can you look for authoritative answers to your questions about infant baptism? These answers must be looked for in God?s Word.
*** g86 10/8 p. 26 Baptism?Is It for Infants? ***
Infant baptizers for the most part attempt to base their case on Jesus? words at John 3:5: ?Unless anyone is born from water and spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.? They argue that since water baptism is a requirement for entrance into heaven, infants should be baptized to avoid suffering in a fiery hell?or lingering in limbo.
However, the Bible says that ?the dead .?.?. are conscious of nothing at all.? (Ecclesiastes 9:5; compare Psalm 146:4.) Since the dead are unconscious, they are incapable of any sort of suffering. Parents, therefore, need not fear gruesome consequences if they do not baptize their infants.

Interesting. Is the baby's first bath, right after it is born, also its baptism?
