The baptism of babies has been an issue of controversy among Christians for almost 2000 years.

The Bible does not teach the baptism of babies. In fact, the Bible plainly teaches that baptism is for believers only.

Acts 8:35-38

35. "Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same Scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.

36. And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?

37. And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

38. And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him."

Not all Christians baptize babies.

Baptists do not baptize babies, and in the past, they have been put to death for it.

The doctrine of baby baptism is a pagan practice and comes from ancient Baal worship. It was invented by Noah's great-grandson Nimrod and his wife Semiramis. Nimrod and Semiramis ordered the building of the tower of Babel. They also invented many other pagan practices including human sacrifices.

This doctrine began to find its way into "Christian" circles around the beginning of the second century.

The Roman Emperor Constantine made it law in 416 A.D.

The Roman Catholic church made infant baptism an official doctrine in 1547 at the Council of Trent.

When the different Protestant groups broke away from the Catholic church, they kept the doctrine of baby baptism.

Baptists are not Protestants. The Baptists did not break away from Catholicism. The Baptists were before the Catholics. Since the time of Christ and the Apostles, there have been people who held to the Baptist doctrines. Many times, they have gone by different names.

This man made doctrine of baby baptism teaches that babies must be baptized because of original sin. If a baby dies without being baptized, it will go to hell.

This is a very cruel heresy! Nowhere in the Bible is this taught!

The Bible teaches that babies are innocent and if they die, they go to heaven.

2 Samuel 12:13-23

13. "And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And
Nathan said unto David, the Lord also hath put away thy sin; thou
shalt not die.

14. Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the
enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto
thee shall surely die.

15. And Nathan departed unto his house. And the Lord struck the child that Uriah's
