Discussion with my daughter about baptism

[Blubayou]

I was raised in a home with a Pentecostal mother and a Baptist dad, both of which were active in their churches. At the age of 9 years old I began to feel conviction and went to the altar in a Pentecostal church children revival. ( I felt conviction in both churches). My parents discussed me being baptized as a young child, but decided that I should put it off until I was older. I continued to attend both churches. At the age of 19 I chose to be baptized in the Pentecostal church. It was my decision, made when I weighed to cost and ramifications to my life. In my case, I am thankful my parents left it up to me to make that decision later in my life. It was a much more meaningful experience at the age of 19 than at the age of 9.
