No, but I keep saying it because it is the truth....can't be any other way.....you choose to be Baptized, or you are baptized as an infant....either way, you don't get to choose the outcome...you are Baptized Catholic as it has ALWAYS been...you can't change it...
Branded at birth, with a MARK that cannot be removed. Scary.
Babies can't be Biblically baptized.
But they can be MARKED. Sad.
Just ANOTHER example of how close Catholicism is to Islam. They also believe that if you were born as a Muslim, you will always BE a Muslim and if you try to leave you can be killed. Wasn't that long ago many Catholics did that as well! TC, you are just plain wrong.
The ordinance of water baptism was NEVER meant to be a passive thing - something someone has done to them without their knowledge or consent. Infant baptism was NOT a practice of the early Christians. Little babies don't need baptism in order to go to heaven if they die before the age of responsibility. Even the Roman Catholic church has backed off that doctrine. They won't even use the term "Limbo" anymore to describe the place innocent, unbaptized babies go to. Now the RCC just says they trust in the mercy of God to do what is right by them, or words to that effect. Rather, we CAN trust that God is merciful and His grace extends to the innocents incapable of coming to saving faith in Jesus Christ.
If someone is born and raised in a certain faith tradition, they have every right - and actually SHOULD - come to a point where they must decide if that is what they truly believe and have the freedom to leave if it doesn't meet their needs. Paul said we have been chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world. God knows those that are His and His own know Him. We will come to Him no matter which faith, or lack of, we are born into.
