In the Roman Catholic Faith, babies are baptized, but are not “Confirmed” in the Faith until they are about 12 or 13. It is beleived that, by that time, they are old enough to make a decision to be a true “Soldier of Christ”

Ditto the United Methodist Church: at ours, they go through confirmation class, usually in 8th grade, and are then full members of the church.

Interestingly, ALL examples of baptism in the Bible occur with adults who make a conscious decision to make a life-changing decision.

wrong again....there are numerous examples where entire households were baptized.....confirmation establishes your willingness to accept the religion, Baptism frees you from the penalties of original sin
