There are two primary forms of baptism practiced in Christianity: infant baptism and believer's baptism

Types

Supporting arguments

Infant baptism, common in Catholic, Orthodox, and some Protestant churches, is based on the belief that baptism removes original sin and initiates the child into the Christian faith, with the commitment to Christian upbringing by the parents and godparents.

Believer's baptism, practiced by Baptists and other evangelical denominations, is performed on individuals old enough to consciously decide to accept Christ and understand the meaning of the ritual.
