Baptists do not believe infant baptism is required or necessary. The role of the parent is to raise their child to know God, so that when the child is old enough, he or she can make her own decision to trust in and follow God. Salvation is believed to be a personal decision, one that is not affected at all by whether or not your parents are saved. Every person must come to God by themselves. Baptism is then performed, typically by the pastor or preacher of the church, to symbolize the cleansing of that person's soul and as a method of showing the church and the world that this person has been saved.
