It depends on your branch of Christianity. The Roman Catholics, for example, baptize children as an infant so they have no choice but to be Christian. Other branches, such as the Baptists, let the child choose to believe before they baptize.

Anabaptists and Baptists both emphasize adult baptism, but Anabaptists historically rejected infant baptism and believed in the separation of church and state. Baptists, on the other hand, accept infant baptism and often have a congregational form of church governance. Both groups prioritize individual conscience and personal faith, but have distinct historical origins and theological differences.

Baptists believe that baptism is a symbolic act of faith and obedience to God. It represents a person's commitment to following Jesus and their identification with his death, burial, and resurrection. Baptism is seen as an outward expression of an inward decision to follow Christ, and it is considered an important step in the believer's spiritual journey.
