It is customary to have 'god parents' stand up for the child and a Priest sprinkles water on the forehead. However, infant baptism is a custom of mankind and not The Bible. Christ is the perfect example for each of us and He was baptized as an adult - fully aware of choices and beliefs, freely choosing this symbolic immersion of death of the old self and rising a new being.
As the Apostle Peter was inspired to tell the large crowd that 1st Pentecost Sunday of the Church of God on 17 June 31 AD (fifty days after Jesus' resurrection on Saturday, 28 April 31 AD):
Acts 2:38-41New International Version (NIV)
38 Peter replied, Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off for all whom the Lord our God will call. 40 With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, Save yourselves from this corrupt generation. 41 Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.
