Should Christians baptize their infants?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible does not support infant baptism; it teaches baptism is for believers only.

Scripture provides no precedent for the practice of infant baptism. Every instance of baptism in the Bible is tied to the act of believing; for example, in Acts, Philip instructed the Ethiopian eunuch that baptism follows personal faith ('If you believe with all your heart, you may be baptized' - Acts 8:37). Furthermore, baptism symbolizes a believer's identification with Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection, which necessitates that those being baptized have a conscious faith before undergoing the ordinance, refuting the idea of baptizing infants.
