Within Christianity it is an act of recognizing God as the creator and that the child belongs to and is a gift from God. It is a pledging to raise the child by God's standards and to teach the child about God. It is not baptism as that cannot occur in those denominations that don't do infant baptism. Baptism does not happen until the child is of a sufficient age and level of understanding to accept Jesus Christ as his personal savior and desires to make an outward expression of the change in his or her life and relationship with Jesus Christ.
