Interesting. I never thought of that. I'm curious, though - how many people really care? Not so much about the general baptizing practice of one group or another - I'm sure plenty of people get worked up about that - but about whether or not they, themselves, were baptized early?
If you still approve of whatever your parents chose when you grow up, that's spiffy. Good call all around. If not, I can't imagine someone abandoning a religious practice that they believe in - or a church throwing someone out to be damned - because their parents gave them the wrong kind of bath when they were too young to sit up without assistance.
Of course, my own interest in religion is purely academic and intermittent at best, so I'm sure I could be missing something obvious...
