The recent WT article about baptism really got me thinking. If baptism is the most important decision one can make in their life, why should someone take that step before they are deemed old enough to marry, vote, or drive a car?
Which is more important, marriage vows or baptismal vows?
I'm trying to find something in the WT literature which scripturally supports someone at the age of 12 getting baptized.
What are your thoughts?
something in the WT literature which scripturally supports
There's your problem right there!
Try finding anything in the WT literature that has scriptural backing (aside from isolating a verse or 2 from its context).
I prefer showers
I was baptized at 11. and you can see how that turned out
I have never found where the WTS sets a minimum date for baptism (except not a baby, whatever definition that means)
Baby--does that mean not talking or walking, not potty trained, able to read and write, etc.
