For me, watching an infant baptism is a very healing moment . . . so I think I kinda understand what you were saying, doorsie. I grew up in a household where I was always feeling condemned about not being good enough for God, not having enough faith, supposedly hosting evil spirits, etc. There is something about an infant baptism that is so special to me, because it says that the parents believe in God's grace to their child so strongly that they will baptize even before the child is old enough to "make a decision for Christ". There is no condemning the child to hell or trying to beat the sin out of him or her.
