[quote=Miss Shawn_2828;10639074]Well, I am not Catholic, so I am speaking from my point of view. Yes, a baby can be baptized, but if a child does not say with his or her mouth that Jesus is Lord, they don't know that Jesus is their Lord, and you baptizing is only for your purposes, because the child is unaware of what is going on. Yes, you can get your baby bap., but the bible is clear on who should get bap.

This is why Catholic children are taught about the Lord and Jesus prior to their First Communion and why at an older age (teens), they have the Sacrament of Confirmation in which they do proclaim their own beliefs at an age where they can understand that they confirm the Baptismal promise.
