The Church from Apostolic times has baptized infants on the say-so of their parents Chapter and verse please. St. Hippolytus of Rome, The Apostolic Tradition, ca. 215 A.D. Baptize first the children; and, if they can speak for themselves, let them do so. Otherwise, let their parents or other relatives speak for them. Origen, Commentaries on Leviticus, A.D. 244. Baptism is given even to infants. Commentaries on Romans, A.D. 244. The Church received from the Apostles the tradition of giving Baptism even to infants. For the Apostles, to whom were committed the secrets of divine mysteries, knew that there is in everyone the innate stains of sin, which must be washed away through water and the Spirit. Oh 215 and 244 are apostolic times now? I think not........Since you're taken over for RobbyS, again, chapter and verse please. Preferably from the Bible. You know that book you guys sometimes refer to when it helps ya.
