Oh....only about 90% of the Christian world, both now, or in the entire history of Christianity.
From the time of the Apostles:
"And they shall baptise the little children first. And if they can answer for themselves, let them answer. But if they cannot, let their parents answer or someone from their family." Hippolytus of Rome, Apostolic Tradition, 21 (c. A.D. 215).
"[T]herefore children are also baptized." Origen, Homily on Luke, XIV (A.D. 233).
"For this reason, moreover, the Church received from the apostles the tradition of baptizing infants too." Origen, Homily on Romans, V:9 (A.D. 244).
ALL of the Church did for the first 1,500 years of her existence.
Today, this would include:
Roman Catholics
Eastern Orthodox
The Anglican Communion
Lutherans
Methodists
Arminians
Wesleyans
Presbyterians
United Church of Christ
Evangelical and Reformed Churches
The Congregationalist Churches
And somehow all these Christians are WRONG??? How??
