"Baptising babies is pointless." Do you agree? Give reasons for your answer, showing that you have considered more than one point of view.

Some people might say that baptising babies is pointless because the baby obviously does not know what is going on and so does not have any beliefs to be baptised. They think that instead of baptising babies, they should wait until the person is old enough to decide for himself when they have true beliefs. They might think that it is unfair that the child doesn't have a choice in the matter as they might …

They start off their life with God's grace and no sin and the promise of eternal life. They would also feel more accepted and welcome and be more inclined to carry on the Christian faith for the rest of their lives.
