St. Paul saving someone from suicide and Is infant baptism biblical? Is infant baptism in the bible? The episode is about why I initially thought being Catholic was a terrible idea and how my views changed, focusing on the topic of infant baptism. I explain three reasons that changed my mind: biblical instances of entire families being baptized, particularly citing Acts Chapter 16; the historical context with larger family sizes; Jesus's call to "let the children come to him," and the practice of infant baptism endorsed by early church figures like St. Cyprian. What is your take on this Catholic vs protestant debate? When to baptize a child?
