From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Infant baptism is the Christian religious practice of baptizing infants or young children. In theological discussions, the practice is sometimes referred to as paedobaptism or pedobaptism from the Greekpais meaning "child." The practice is sometimes contrasted with what is called "believer's baptism", orcredobaptism, from the Latin word credo meaning "I believe", which is the religious practice of baptizing only individuals who personally confess faith in Jesus, therefore excluding small children.
