One biblical support for infant baptism is found in the New Testament book of Acts, where it mentions households being baptized. Some interpret this to include infants being baptized along with their families. Additionally, in the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus instructs his disciples to baptize all nations, which some believe includes infants as well.
Infant baptism is a practice in some Christian denominations where infants are baptized. The support for infant baptism in the Bible is a topic of debate among theologians and scholars. Some argue that there are passages in the Bible that suggest the practice, while others believe that baptism should be reserved for those who can make a conscious decision to follow Jesus. Ultimately, the interpretation of biblical teachings on infant baptism varies among different Christian traditions.

Infant baptism is based on the belief that baptism is a sign of God's covenant with believers, similar to circumcision in the Old Testament. Some Christians argue that since infants were included in the covenant in the Old Testament, they should also be included in the covenant of baptism in the New Testament.
