Well that's interesting. I'm not sure what to think. The situation above is actually my situation. My mother baptized me in the roman catholic church (but she wasn't a believer at that point). She was saved when I was about 4 and thankfully left the RCC and I was brought up in a protestant christian church. I later was saved at 17 1/2 and had a prompting to get baptized later. I was going to get baptized at my church and spoke with my pastor about it and then he asked me if I was baptized as a baby. At the time I had to go ask my mother if I was baptized in the RCC because I didn't know. She never mentioned it, because it really wasn't important since she wasn't a believer then and being in the RCC, etc. So when I told my pastor about this he told me that he really wasn't sure if he'd baptize me then. Well I was really thrown for a loop here and upset about this. It was clear to me that this baptism didn't mean anything because my mother did it out of religious conviction, wasn't a believer at the time, and my dad wasn't a believer (and still isn't). He was trying to tell me that the faith of my parents brought me to be baptized, etc. What faith??? (as I described) and one cannot give any salvation to one's child by baptism. Well I wound up going to another church to be baptized with some friends who were getting baptized 7 years after my conversion. Honestly I was kind of shocked to see that some here believe in infant baptism. But I read Pilgrim's responses in the other post and he made it pretty clear about some other questions I had and where he stands about it. Some day I'll read about this Covenant Theology just out of curiousity. Seems like differences in theologies with baptism are even MORE difficult than I thought.
So isn't immersion of the baptism important?? Just for the adult?? Well this does leave me with some more questions like this, maybe I'll ask another day.
