Baptizing children should not be delayed based purely on age — genuine faith at any age is sufficient

Mike does not believe arbitrary age numbers (12 or 13) are the deciding factor for baptism. The relevant criterion is genuine awareness and faith. If the parents believe the child's profession is genuine, there is no compelling reason to wait. Mike does not believe baptism saves, so the stakes are about the meaning of baptism, not the child's salvation. Delaying could be chosen, and he would honor that, but he sees no biblical imperative for it.
