Yep, and Jesus didn't perform any miracles until his baptism.

I was 12, when I got baptized,

8...ish?

12, then at 17, when i converted to Catholicism

I think i was when i was born.... Can you be un-baptised... and who would do it???

You realize it's pure symbolism and that an actual ritual really needn't be performed for anything to "unbaptise" you?

I was christened at birth also. So you had holy water sprinkled on you? Big deal. What's the harm? Pure symbolism.

I have yet to be baptised. Don't think I ever will either. (i'm currently 18)

Baptised as a catholic at birth, but meh, I consider myself unbaptised.

You really don't get the Christian condition, do you?

I don't think he does.

The bible IS fact to me. If the Inspired Word of God says it, I BELIEVE IT! It's my everything!

I was baptised in december of last year.

We mormons believe that a child cannot sin, and that until you turn 8 you need not be baptised.

I don't know about you guys but I find the whole "baptism by sprinkling at birth" to be fairly idiotic.

1)Jesus was baptised by immersion

2)Jesus was old enough to understand his baptism when he was baptised.

We also believe that if you do certain egregious sins you can be excommunicated, and therefore your baptism would be null and void. I would assume that the catholics have something similar.

I was Baptised at 17 days old

I pray the Lord will someday grant you a brain.

i know, wasn't a question :P jsut saying that you don't have to be baptized at birth.

im thinking of gettign baptized in probably less than a year.

Birth. I'm fairly sure there's an 800 number to call to register for the mark of Satan [666] and un-baptize you.

I was baptized in 8th grade when I was 13.

Around my birth sometime.

never. 100% --{A}--

At birth. but i belive one should wait until one is old enough to deside. 30 sounds about right.
