I was baptized as an infant (Lutheran) but was going through the process of being licensed through a denomination that believes in "believer’s baptism." On the application it asked: "What is the clear Biblical definition of baptism? I wrote: "There is no clear Biblical stance on baptism." They did not like my answer. HAHA

I was baptized at eight but I can't remember a time when I didn't believe. It's always been hard to hear preachers say that if you don't remember the moment you got saved have a distinct before/after to show how your life has changed, you're not really saved. I guess maybe they're not talking about me. They never have.

Is there any talk or scholarship around baptism of those with mental disabilities? Those who maybe aren't able to fully articulate their faith? I'm part of a Presbyterian Church, so being able to articulate faith isn't necessary for baptism, but I wonder how someone in a Baptist tradition might lovingly approach, for example, baptizing an adult who has autism and is nonverbal.

This was helpful! I just came over from the most recent livestream. I've been in a Methodist church (GMC) for the last two years, where I serve as the Director of Youth Ministry, after being Baptist my whole life. I switched traditions for many reasons, and generally love Methodism and Wesleyan theology, but I've been struggling with my view on infant vs. believer's baptism. We have many young families, so I've been able to witness many infant baptisms at this point, and I've even helped with the confirmation classes in my capacity as the Youth Director! I'm currently considering ordination, which is ultimately what I feel called to, so I'm starting some pretty deep study on baptism, and trying to get some good Protestant perspectives on it. I'm also in conversation with my pastor and a few other folks in my congregation about this, which has been great in many ways, except they all come from Methodism, or other backgrounds that baptize babies, and I don't always feel like they really understand some of my concerns or thoughts lol. I'm especially excited to read Scot McKnight's book! The Wesleyan and Anglican views are very similar, and I think it will be helpful to hear from someone who changed their mind on this topic!

I was raised Baptist too and now in a Chrstian Church that gas communion every week and has taught me how important Believers Baptism is. But in Baptist Churches I know one of my sons could tell all about what it meant to be saved at age 5 and another grandchild at age 7 and one at 6. The preacher did talk to them and prayed and felt fine abiut baptizing them. We all stated that we would see and there may come a day that they do realize more and if the young child wasn't really saved they would come forward and do it again. One out of 3 did. Still Jesus told us to come with belief like a child.

I respect the infant baptism, but I don't think that really saves them.. I also believe that immersion like Jesus is very important too. I believe like Skye too.
