13?
Is that question really relevant?

Like I said before, baptism at 8 years old is a ritual and a custom. Let's not argue that it isn't.
I'm just saying that 8 year olds are capable enough to understand (imperfectly as it might be) the importance of baptism and decide for themselves that it's something they want to do.

Let me ask this question again

Quote:
At what age should people be baptized? How much knowledge and understanding and freedom from the brutal dictates of parents, friends and family is required in order to make an informed decision to be baptized?
