yep The situation would be, of course, that at least one adult in a family is converted and that there are infants or very young children in that family. Then, the believing parent(s) would have to make a credible/valid profession of faith which would then allow those particular children to be baptized as well. After a certain age, let's say 3 years old, a child would also have to make a public valid profession of faith in order to receive baptism. grin
