At what age did you have your child baptised?

[BelFarfalla]

Well in my church, one is Saved BEFORE baptism… so being saved at Baptism would be … late (for lack of a better word.) While Baptism serves as a symbol of what has already occurred, it is still required by God. Something I think is missed with the talk of things being a symbboll is that just because something is symbolic dosn’t stop God from responding to/being present in these things.

Here is a very good link that discusses the difference between the way Catholics view baptism and the way others who baptise at an older age see it. There is a significant difference in the views.

My son was 4, because that’s when I converted. Both our DD’s were about 2 months, due to circumstances. We would have preferred it was sooner.

My oldest dd was nearly two…she and I converted to Luthernism, I was around 28.
My next dd was 7 days…we were moving and wanted it done before we left.
My youngest dd was 4 yrs, when we all came home the Catholic Church. Yea!
