Line 1: Line 1: −
'''Infant baptism''' is the practice of baptizing infants or young children. In [[Theology|theological]] discussions, the practice is sometimes referred to as paedobaptism, or pedobaptism, from the Greek ''pais'' meaning "child". This is in contrast to what is called "believer's baptism", or credobaptism (from the Latin word ''[[Creed|credo]]'' meaning "I believe"), which is the [[Religion|religious]] practice of baptizing only individuals who personally confess faith in [[Jesus]], therefore excluding underage children. [[Anabaptists|Anabaptist groups]] reject infant baptism as not supported by the Bible.
