According to Scripture, baptism is an adult decision which no other can make for the individual. The idea of infant baptism is a tradition of men.
Acts 2:38-39New International Version (NIV)38 Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off-for all whom the Lord our God will call."
To 'repent' is a heartfelt, deep sorrow for the ways of the individual who has now yearned to change or do an 180* turnaround. To be able to achieve this turnaround, one needs to be fully in charge of their lives - an adult - and choose for themselves to be baptized.

God parents are appointed by your parents at the time of your baptism (christening), if this is done when you are a baby or young child.
