INTRODUCTION AND QUESTION

[The Texas RAT]

So, what are your thoughts on Paedo-baptism, Tex?

I was baptized Episcopalian, raised Fundie, baptized a second time, turned away, struggled with Hebrews for a while, currently high as a kite.

I had to Google the term, up to speed now.

I do not understand and have no clue as to why people do that, as the infant by no means has made a decision to follow The Way of Yehoshua our Adon and Redeemer. So I being raised a Baptist have no clue as to why other faiths do such. I personally at this point in my understanding would not do such to my children, all the while I would circumcise any and all male children I happen to have.

I was herded through the baptistery as a young child in a Baptist Church as I was telling them I did not choose to do this, as they said don't worry it will be all right. I felt like I was being used in a ploy to run up their numbers game. I later as a teen was scared half to deaf by a hell fire and brimstone preacher and my parents ganging up on me so I let them baptize me again just in case it would keep me out of the Hell they where telling me about. I later at the age of thirty made a decision to follow after the Christian Jesus and got baptized again a third time into Christianity. Then in stead of just listening to the sermons I began to start reading the Word and started finding things being spoken from the pulpit were not in the Word of YHWH, so I started studying and made a conscience decision to Follow The Way of Yehoshua The Anointed One through the Netzari Trust and that's when I got Immersed in the horse troth being I finally meet-up with some other Netzari Believers of The Way of Yehoshua The Anointed One and decide I did not want to wait until some time that a more formal Immersion could be coordinated as I was not going to be there long enough for them to set such up and I did not know how long it might be before I got around other Believers again. As the old saying goes "better late than never" - I figured it's "better now than later".
