yes, as my wife parents kept stressing out that we had not had our boys infant baptized, as being Russian orthodox, we were to them subjecting them to hell if not done and they were to die!The very good news is whatever the policy of the church, salvation is not jeopardized or delayed in anyway.
peace to you

It should be as soon as possible. I believe that is the example we have from Scripture. There definitely is no example of a class for baptism in Scripture and that just seems a bit ridiculous to me.I know some churches like to baptize immediately - at least within a week

True, but its what their church teaches!But that is NOT what Scripture teaches
Not really interested in what heretics believe.It actually depends on your religion sector. For Catholics, they prefer it on an early age so that the divine intervention will be experienced ahead of time. For others, someone must undergo first bible teachings before being baptized.
I see a push in Baptist churches as well to baptize children. I had an elderly member (in bad health) of my church that was pushing me to baptize her grandchildren before she died.yes, as my wife parents kept stressing out that we had not had our boys infant baptized, as being Russian orthodox, we were to them subjecting them to hell if not done and they were to die!
