Why would someone prefer to be baptised as a baby rather than an adult?

Many other denominations (including most Baptist churches) believe in what is called the baptism of believers...that Baptism is an outward show of the transformation that you have experience as you accepted Jesus. They believe that a child that is too young to understand Gods Word and accept Jesus on their own will still be accepted into Heaven if they died. Some of these churches will have a "dedication" ceremony for babies...but this is more for the parents...saying that they Dedicate the baby to God, and Dedicate themselves to raising it in a Christian manner.

No. One rarely has a choice regarding baptism as most individuals are too young to refuse baptism.

Neither do you have to be confirmed although many Christian churches bar from communion those who have been confirmed.
