I witnessed an infant baptism at a presy church yesterday. The minister just wet his fingers and touched the babies forehead and cheeks and chin. He said this was baptism.
Then he asked the parents if they would promise to raise their child according to God, and asked the rest of the congregation too.
He said you not too young to be baptised and Jesus didnt forbid children coming to him.
But is this really baptism, in other churches, it would be called a baby dedication. Or even a baby shower. The baby didnt even get wet. It was like three drops of water. Is it the thought that counts?
My parents never did this with me...
