Which denominations of Christianity believe in baptism at birth other than Catholicism?

Answer 1

In history most people in the church through the ages practiced infant baptism, thiere are convincing arguments both ways but most protestants that practice it its more a dedicaiton of the child in hopes the child becomes a believer and the child is not yet a christian

few other denomination believe people actually become christians at infant baptism... some Lutherans might and it might depend on which Luther denomination to say how they view infant baptism and what it accomplishes

presbyterians and reformed churches generally practice covenant baptism, which is like a dedication of the child
but the child does not become a Christian unless it comes to saving faith

babtists and pentacostals wait till there is evidense of saving faith in a persons life to babptise

some churches allow either, I go to a presbyterian PCA church and my daughter was immersion baptized at age 10. Similarly Christian missionary alliance church allow either the mode of baptism is not insisted on just that you are baptized to take communion

I can see it both ways. But I dont agree with the idea a perosn become a christian at infant baptism, you beocme a christian by saving faith

Answer 2

Well actually catholics arent really christians ... I mean they kind of are because they believe like that Jesus died for us but they worship the saints and mary and stuff like god too... but um... the church I go to does not do at birth baptism but they do baby dedications where they just dedicate the child to the lord.... and the reason that they dont do at birth baptism is because when you are baptised that is like a choice and the babys dont get to make the choice because when you go under the water and then come up that is like showing how you are then made clean and how you are starting over.... hope I was able to help.

Answer 3

Most Christian denominations and the vast majority of Christians practice infant baptism, including Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, Anglicans, Lutherans, Presbyterians, Continental Reformed, and Methodists.

Answer 4

Besides Roman Catholics- Eastern Orthodox, Coptic Orthodox, Assyrians, Old Catholics, Anglicans, Episcopalians, Lutherans, Methodists, Presbyterians and a few other Protestant groups all believe in the rightness and efficasy of infant baptism.

Answer 5

Most of them believe in christening/baptizing in childhood (not necessarily "at birth"). There are some, most notably the Baptists, who believe you should be baptized after becoming of age to understand what's happening. They will typically re-baptize you if you were christened as a child. However, Episcopalians, Methodists, Presbyterians, and most others allow welcoming the child into the church via childhood baptism. If adults join their churches and haven't yet been baptized, they will baptize them as adults.

Answer 6

Generally the mainline Protestants. Some of these include Episcopals, Methodists, Presbyterians, and Lutherans. There may be a few other non-Christian ones, such as the Unitarians, but I can't speak for them.

Answer 7

Most Churches aligned with Catholic/Episcopalian Baptize at birth. Most full protestants, Baptist, Methodists, Evangelical free churches, etc do not.

It all depends on whether you believe that being dipped into water symbolically will save you.

Answer 8

Eastern Orthodox.

Answer 9

Lutherans do. I think most religions that have broken away from the Catholic church believe in infant baptism.

Answer 10

Catholics don't believe in baptism at birth. I was baptised when I was seven, so I had some idea of what it was all about.
