Too young to have a say in that nonsense.

Under a year.
The nuns didn't baptize me before they had the closing papers.

First time as a baby in the Presbyterian Church.
Then this past February at 61, Baptist style. Full immersion, outdoors (in a hot tub). That was cold but they wouldn't let me cuss.

I was 14 I think the first time in my moms Methodist church. My dad had passed and thought I’d better do it. Lost my way shortly after that and finally my wife made me start going to church and we finally found an independent baptist church that is awesome. Was saved on Easter Sunday and baptized about a month after that. I was 36 that was 2 years ago. Still struggle sometimes but getting better.

I was 9 years old when I decided to take hell off the table.
I think the age of accountability comes at different times for different people. It came for me then. I listened to Billy Graham on the TV and I understood. Ditto the preacher at church. I read the Living Bible version of Romans and I understood. Maybe not all the nuances, but the big picture.....yeah I understood. I understood and therefore was responsible for it. My folks didn't pressure me into it in anyway, I told them I wanted to be saved. Dad and I went and had a talk with the preacher the next Sunday night after church and I was Baptized soon thereafter on an Easter Sunday in a cold swimming pool.

I was twelve years old. My parents were busy, and just did attend church much for while . After my older brother died in an auto accident they stepped it up a lot.
Presbyterian Church, sprinkling. Baptism is the first step of obedience to God AFTER choosing to get saved. I was a baby who was not Biblically baptized. There's no reason for babies to be baptized unless the denomination teaches that babies go to hell with out that ritual. The Bible does not teach that. I was baptized in my mid teens about 6 months after I got saved. If I would not have been baptized, I would still go to heaven. However, I would be out of fellowship and my prayers would be hindered. Does that make sense Wabigoon? PM if you have more questions. You've had 3 tonight, so that's your limit. 😉

Initially, about 12 or 13 by a "non-denominational" (translation: holy roller) church that leaned heavily Pentacostal/Charismatic in deepest, darkest Appalachia.
About three years ago I converted to Orthodoxy (OCA) and was baptized and christmated into the Church. The best decision I've ever made. I think it really took this time. Your avatar is a testimonial to your conviction.
I was thinking the other day how much I used to hate Bill Clinton. He was freaking George Washington compared to what they are now.

9 years old and got a dose in Clear Creek, Ky. Many miles and mistakes between there and here, but I have not doubted since.

Old enough to know what I had chosen to do, and why. A very important and determined action, As individuals with unique qualities and needs, such choices differ from one person to another. God knows this about each of us.
