Baptists do not believe infant baptism is required or necessary. The role of the parent is to raise their child to know God, so that when the child is old enough, he or she can make her own decision to trust in and follow God. Salvation is believed to be a personal decision, one that is not affected at all by whether or not your parents are saved. Every person must come to God by themselves. Baptism is then performed, typically by the pastor or preacher of the church, to symbolize the cleansing of that person's soul and as a method of showing the church and the world that this person has been saved.

No. Both Baptists and Anabaptists have their names deriving from the idea that they would "re-baptize" people. By 1500's it had become normative to practice the Christian rite of baptism on infants as an expression of faith of the parents.Both Baptists and Anabaptists believed that baptism is to express the faith of the individual. Therefore, people who joined Baptist or Anabaptist groups were required to undergo "believer's baptism" even if they had been baptized as infants.John the Baptist was described as such because his most famous role in the Bible was as the one who baptized Jesus. Even though John did practice believer's baptism, he was not a "Baptist" in the Christian sense. John's baptism was a Jewish baptism of repentance. (The English term "baptize" is simply the transliteration of a Greek word meaning to dip or immerse.) It was pre-Christian.
