The Baptist Church generally does not practice infant baptism. They believe that baptism should be a personal choice made by individuals who are old enough to understand and make a conscious decision to follow Jesus.
Tertullian, an early Christian theologian, believed that infant baptism was unnecessary and argued that individuals should wait until they were older and able to understand and make a conscious decision to be baptized.
Martin Luther believed in infant baptism as a means of grace and a way for children to receive God's blessings and protection. He argued that infants should be baptized to be brought into the Christian community and receive the benefits of being part of the church.
Martin Luther believed that infant baptism was a valid practice, but he emphasized the importance of faith and personal commitment to God. This belief influenced his teachings by emphasizing the individual's relationship with God and the need for personal faith rather than relying solely on rituals. This stance also contributed to the Protestant Reformation by challenging the authority of the Catholic Church and promoting a more personal and direct connection between individuals and God.
Liberal Presbyterian/Presbyterian/Baptist/Conservative Baptist There is a segment of the Presbyterian Church the Presbyterian Church USA that has Agreements of Communion Complete with church denominations that condone homosexual ministers - They also are big into the "Jesus Seminar" - see link provided. The denomination within the Baptists, "Conservative Baptist," is a section that came out of the "Southern Baptist Conference," due to some of the Southern Baptist missionaries not believing in the "Virgin Birth." Of course, a main difference between the Presbyterians and Baptist is that Presbyterians believe in "Infant Baptism." Both believe in Eternal Security, (OSAS). The ideas of the Presbyterians are more hyper-Calvinist, (hyper-Charles Finney also called it hyper - knowing that this TULIP ideas began 50 years after Calvin's death). They tend to have a stronger stance on OSAS than Baptist, and also are into Predestination that Baptist generally don't agree with them about. So, the logic of the Presbyterian Church USA is the Holy Spirit/Salvation comes in at "Infant Baptism" + OSAS = The person is saved no matter what sins they commit afterwards. Look at the individual Church that you are visiting, and if they have the wording "Inerrancy," "Inerrant," or "Infallibility" in their Statement of Beliefs you will be on the right track.

Yes, there are significant differences between various Baptist associations, primarily in theology, governance, and practices. For example, some associations, like the Southern Baptist Convention, adhere to a more conservative interpretation of Scripture and emphasize evangelism, while others, such as the American Baptist Churches USA, may adopt a more progressive stance on social issues. Additionally, governance structures can vary, with some associations emphasizing congregational autonomy and others having a more centralized authority. These differences reflect the diversity within the Baptist tradition as a whole.
