Kids "decide" to get baptized? I guess in the same way they "decide" to eat vegetables and do their chores and homework instead of watching TV.
Still doesnt make it a bad thing, but there is no real decision being made, not in the truest sense.
In Indy's case, did the parents explain that the child was actually perfectly fine choosing to not get baptized and that they would support her either way, no matter what her choice would be? Did they allow her to explore other religions? Did they talk to her about other options apart from baptism?
I doubt it.
I am not condemning it because my kids will also "decide" to get baptized when they are 8....whether they want to or no.
