Baptism is a public declaration of that decision. A child could get baptised once he/she understands the meaning of the baptism.
Another answerThere are some Pentecostals that believe that a person must be baptized to be saved -- so they would want a person to be baptized as soon as possible.Acts2:38:
Then Peter said unto them, repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Another answerPentecostals are baptized when they believe in Jesus and what he has done for them or as some like to say "Receive him in your heart". Its not just a public display so that everyone can see you, it is a representation of us being "buried with him in baptism" or a washing away of the old man

∙ 15y agoAccording to the Pentecostal Faith, one must confess his sins and be Baptized in the name of Jesus Christ to receive the gift of The Holy Ghost (Salvation).
The Pentecostal Faith does not believe in Baptizing babies or young children that are not of the age of accountability. The art of Baptism is also an immersion, as with the Faith of Baptist as well.

∙ 13y agoBaptism is not about age. Once someone becomes a Christian-surrendering to Christ and making him Lord of your life-and is old enough to understand what that all means, then they get baptised as a public declaration of their faith. So, it is different for everyone but you have to have accepted Christ as your Saviour and you have to have an understanding of what that means. So a child who accepts Christ at age 3 or 4, wouldn't have that understanding for a few years at least, depending on their maturity level. Probably not younger than 10.

∙ 13y agoIn most Pentecostal churches, baptism is the same way as most other protestant churches--by immersion.
But, Oneness Pentecostals only baptize using the name of Jesus.
