I'm raising my son the way we (me and my husband ) see fit. I view religion very differently than most people. First my son is not baptized because I feel that that ceremony or what have you is about a commitment and a child can not know the full extent of the responsibility that comes with committing yourself to God. So once Jr is old enough to think for himself and understands what is expected of him as a son of God he can choose his path. I also do not believe that God forbid something should happen to Jr he would go to hell just because he isn't baptized because a childs innocence should be enough to get him saved
Children shouldnt be baptized to anything. They need to be old enough to make that choice for themselves. As a Christian she should know that. Its a choice to love and accept Christ.
I was raised Jewish.....and ALL Children belong to God so there isn't a need to baptize them..i am not religious just spiritual.You do what's best for your kids ! @tinkcem85
Definitely discuss this with your husband first. You two are the parents and it should be decided between the two of you and your children. Since your kids are older, maybe include them and ask what they want.
Catholics are christians...
