The way i understand it is that infant Baptism is only a christening and not a baptism in the Church.

A person must decide for them selves if they want to be a part of the Church.

Jesus was Christened as an infant, but close to thirty years old before he was baptized, aside from Jesus many young people do not know what they really believe even at that age, and some much older.

“Jesus was Christened as an infant”

Where is that in the Bible or tradition? I’m not accusing you of anything, just never heard anything about that.

He was certainly circumcised per Jewish Law as an infant. Is that what you mean?

I think you mean, Jesus was taken to the temple for the sacrifice, naming and circumcision.
That ceremony is at 8 days.

Jesus was dedicated to God’s service as an infant at the Presentation in the Temple.

No, He was circumcised.
