No, as there is no 'god.'

Yes, infant baptism is valid. Babies in the New Testament are under the same promises as the Old Testament, under circumcision. It doesn't definitively save them, and it isn't show and tell. It's a matter of trust by Christian parents, with obligations for themselves and the church (not just godparents) to bring the children up in the ways of the Lord. Babies aren't "automatically saved," as if we can tell God to move over so we can sit in judgment and start declaring people innocent. That's why we DON'T give our children choices, they follow the parents because the parents love them enough to drag them to church, folding their hands for them in prayer, teaching them the faith, not witnessing to them as if they are "saved outsiders," Uncle Jesus waiting in the wings and hoping they will choose him. Not a bit, we ASSUME regeneration, they are PRODIGALS under their baptism if they fall away, we claim them as His until proven otherwise. Yes, infant baptism all the way. BUT for new believers, immersion is just as good as sprinkling or pouring, signifying the death, burial (even though Jesus wasn't "buried" per se, he was laid on a shelf in a tomb), and resurrection of our Lord.

No im not, why? the Bible says:Hebrew 5:13 - For everyone that useth milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.Who needs to get baptized ? We the sinners, repentance for the remission of sin.MARK 1:4 - John did baptize in the wilderness, and PREACH the baptism of repentance for the remission of sin.Meaning to say we have to undergo indoctrination first to know what baptism is. we should have FAITH. ROMANS 10:17 - So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.proof:Act 8:36 - And as they went on their way, they came unto the certain water, and the eunuch said, See, here is water, what doth hinder me to be baptized? 37 - And Philip said, IF THOU BELIEVEST WITH ALL THINE HEART< THOU MAYEST. AND HE ANSWERED AND SAID, I BELIEVED THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD.So infant baptism is not the will of God, for they are not capable yet to the word of God.
