I believe that one should be of an age that they make their own decision to be baptized. The age will be different for each child. An infant cannot make its own decision. But I in no way believe that you have to have full understanding on the doctrine of baptism for it to be effective. You just simply have to be able to make a choice to obey the Word of God.
