The children I have baptized as a minister have always been infants (almost all a month or so old). We have a family which will soon be joining as members, and their daughter (whom they want baptized) is 2 years old.
Of course, the child is still young and a member of a believing household, so there are not issues here. But it got me to thinking -- do other paedobaptist churches place some sort of an "age limit" on such baptisms? Is there some cut-off point where a profession of faith is instead insisted upon before baptism? What have some of you other pastors done with regard to this?
