Did you teach her about other world religions and other Christian traditions and how she could join those instead of being baptized? Certainly you did not.
How many people even remember their 8 year old baptisms?
I vaguely remember mine, but I remember nothing of the confirmation.

I'm saying we weren't baptism cheerleaders. Whatever excitement and motivation she had for it didn't come from us.
I remember my 8 year old baptism just fine.
At what age should people be baptized? How much knowledge and understanding and freedom from the brutal dictates of parents, friends and family is required in order to make an informed decision to be baptized?
