What conditions must parents fufill in order to have their child baptized?
There are no biblical examples of infants being baptized. Read the book of acts and see what happens when someone becomes a Christian and is Baptized. The process should become very clear. Hear, Believe, Repent, Confess and then be baptized.
Which year starts INFANT baptism?
Don't baptize infants. They'd only be baptized because you wanted them to be, not because they had chosen to be for their love of their Lord. A person should be baptized when it is their want to be baptized. Not because someone else did.

What are the main ideas of anabaptism?
Anabaptists believe that a person can only be Baptized upon valid confession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Thus they do not Baptize infants and so have this in common with what the Baptists teach. The word anabaptist is really a derogatory label (meaning to Baptize again) given them by their opponents who believed in infant Baptism such as the Roman Catholics and Lutherans and so they were seen as applying a second Baptism as most of their followers (except a few that grew up as such) would have been Baptized as babies. I would say that the above answer is true, as baptists come from anabaptists, who baptized the christened, though we, as baptists, are only baptized once, as the catholic christening is not as popular as it was in the old days.

When should a person be baptized Catholic?
.Catholic AnswerA person should be baptized Catholic as soon as they realize the importance of believing in God and following His Will so that they can lead a good life, and, more importantly, be happy in heaven for eternity. If they are adults, they should speak to a priest and sign up for RCIA class, infants should be baptized as soon as possible, parents need to be practicing Catholics, and, normally, have taken instructions before baptizing their first child.
What age should a child be baptised and why?
The logical age for baptism would be at about 18, when the person has fully learned and thought about what religion is and means. Of course many who believe in infant baptism have their children baptised soon after birth. This has to with their beliefs about baptism. Others, as stated above, are baptised when they reach the 'age of accountability' which is not specified specifically in the Bible and will vary according to the person. I believe there is no "designated" age.When someone is to be baptized it should be when they know what they are doing and do it willingly.
You were baptized as a baby Must you now be re baptized as a 75 year old adult?
If you believe that the baptism of infants is valid then no. If you believe that baptism is required as a testimony of the new life a believer has started on following genuine repentance and acceptance of Christ as Saviour then you will realize that the sprinkling received as a baby was not in line with this definition.Therefore you remain unbaptized and you wouldn't be getting re- baptized. Basically, you need to repent of your sins before they can be removed by God. Infants cannot do this so you are unbaptized if you "got wet" as an infant. Further, the purpose of baptism is to place you in an obedient position for God to remove your sins. Remember, Peter told us we need to repent AND be baptized to remove our sins (Acts 2:38). Unfortunately few teach this today. And now why delay? Arise, and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord (Acts 22:16).

Baptist derives from what denomanation?
it doesnt really come from another domination, but they believe that you should be baptized because Jesus was baptized and he asks that we do the same after we accept him as our savior. but all in all, it is just another branch of christianity.
