  Infant baptism
Infant baptism or pedobaptism, the baptism of the infant children of believers, is an ancient custom of much of Christianity, including the Roman Catholic church, the Orthodox churches, Anglicans, Lutherans, Presbyterians, and Methodists, to name a few.
Pedobaptism also recognizes that membership in the church is not just a matter of intellectual understanding and assent.
It is thus much easier for churches that practice pedobaptism to include people who are mentally impaired and may never be capable of intellectually understanding the creed, but nevertheless practice their faith and participate in the church as they are able.

 Infant baptism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pedobaptism and credobaptism are positions which bubble up from theological views at a more fundamental level of one’s theological system.
Opponents of pedobaptism point out first that Jesus himself was not baptized as a child, and second to Biblical passages emphasizing individual conscience, seeing baptism as something which is for those who already believe --- thus it is for those who are able to state their belief, and infants clearly cannot do such a thing.
Pedobaptism is also opposed by some because the child is baptized into the church without its consent.

 Křest dítěte
Křest dítěte nebo pedobaptism, křest dětí dítěte believers, je starobylý zvyk hodně z křesťanství, včetně Římské katolické církve, Ortodoxní kostely, Anglikáni, Lutherans, Presbyterians, a Metodisté, ke jménu nemnoho.
Pedobaptism také uzná, že členství v kostele není jen věc rozumového pochopení a souhlasu.
To je tak hodně snadnější pro kostely, které cvičí pedobaptism zahrnovat osoby, které jsou mentálně poškozené a smějí nikdy být schopný rozumově rozumět víře, ale přesto vyznávat jejich víru a účastnit se kostela jak oni jsou schopní.

 Baptist
A movement within the Protestant branch of Christianity, Baptist churches derived their name from their chief cause of separation from other churches; namely, their emphasis on the importance of making a profession of belief in the Gospel, prior to baptism (the rejection of pedobaptism).
Believer's baptism is commonly contrasted with "baptism of infants" or pedobaptism.
It is the belief that only a person who has reached the "Age of Accountability" is eligible for baptism into a local church of believers.

"Tertullian has nowhere mentioned Pedobaptism among the traditions of the church, nor even among the customs of the church that were publicly received, and usually observed; nay, he plainly intimates that, in his time, it was yet a doubtful affair.
I conclude, therefore, that Pedobaptism can not be certainly proved to have been practiced before the times of Tertullian; and that there were persons in his age who desired their infants might be baptized, especially when they were afraid of their dying without baptism.

The great mass, we all know, of every community, grow up without religion; and although, according to Pedobaptism, in the church, and entitled to all its privileges, are full of sensuality and worldliness.
The majority of members, therefore, especially in countries where infant baptism is fully carried out, know nothing of the renewing grace of God, and are governed in their feelings and pursuits by considerations entirely of earth.

It shows that these principles, though based on God's Word, are constantly violated by Protestant pedobaptists, though they profess to be governed by that Word.
Not a few of these have been led, by the perusal of previous editions, to see the utter inconsistency of pedobaptism with the principles of the New Testament, and have renounced it, and united with the Baptist denomination.
Among these, several highly honored and useful brethren, now in the ministry of the denomination, might be named.

 Letter from Jon Evans - December 16, 2002
Others issues have multiple testimonies to both sides, and we need to see where the preponderance of the Word lies, in order to understand if something may have been misinterpreted in the past, or is not an eternal prohibition.
Examples of that are pedobaptism, divorce, and women's ordination.
Particularly with the latter, God has made it clear He has used women in leadership roles within the church and the people of God since the beginning, and thus we promote it.

First, Menno was unsettled about the doctrine of transubstantiation and this crisis of belief pushed him headlong into the deliberate investigation of the New Testament.
Second, Menno became concerned about the practice of pedobaptism after the execution of Sicke Freerks Snijder for consenting to adult rebaptism.
He was profoundly moved by the devotion and commitment of the millenarian martyrs who died savage deaths because they openly rejected transubstantiation and pedobaptism.

 Second Rebuttal - Shandon L. Guthrie
Thus one could be ignorant of baptism or incapable of such and still receive the grace of Christ unto salvation -- a perfectly acceptable Protestant admission.
Moreover, there are Christian denominations today that intimate baptismal rites that are in some sense required for the procurement of salvation (think of the Lutheran view of pedobaptism).
I guess this could all just be academic since one could argue that adding commands to the Gospel is just overkill by adding additional ryders to a Gospel that already saves.

Kevin - with all due respect and charity, suggesting that the practice is due to reformed theology is simply unsustainable.
However the discussion of pedobaptism must include Calvin - while I think he is wrong in allowing a ‘crass parallelism’ to drive a poor hermeneutic in his understanding between circumcision and baptism within the Covenant of Grace, I think he rightly sees the overall continuity between the Old and New Testaments.
Given that I find the arguments for pedobaptism to be wanting, my understanding of the regulative principle necessitates a conviction that baptism is to be administered only to those who profess faith in Christ.

This is no less true of Protestant Pedobaptism.

The most important point that Baptists derive from the Scriptures regarding the local church is the makeup of its constituency: R—a regenerated and immersed church membership.
At a stroke, this thoroughly biblical assertion rules out pedobaptism, the parish church structure, and the state churches that constituted christendom from the fourth century until modern times.
If the church is made up only of believers—those who have consciously chosen Jesus Christ as their Savior—then the local church is obligated to reflect as accurately as humanly possible the body of Christ.
