Catholics, Lutherans, Methodists, and Anglicans (Church of England) baptize infants due to their belief in Original Sin. Original sin, is a basic belief that children are sinful because sin is passed down through the generations as a result of Adam and Eve's sin in the Garden. See Romans 5:12 and Psalm 51:5.

The Rite of Baptism in most Christian churches involves Holy (blessed) Water and Holy (blessed) Water. Some denominations use springs or streams, or even a bathtub filled with water--these are blessed by the clergy just before the Baptism. Full immersion (indoor or outdoor) for adult Baptism is practiced in many denominations; other denominations use a Baptismal font (especially for infant Baptism) or sprinkling of Holy Water on the person's forehead.For example, a disabled child or bedridden adult would not be denied Baptism just because they cannot be dunked or immersed in water.
