Where did you get that idea? Many protestant denominations have infant baptism.

and when a protestant religion doesn’t baptize kids, they believe that the child’s soul is safe until the age of reason. That is when their soul needs baptism. Before then the protestants don’t think the innocent infant is hellbound, the way the romans.

I spent too much time around fundies who made the claim that a person had to be old enough to choose baptism for him/herself.

Sorry. I forgot about all the sects that are OK with infant baptism.

Wesleyans don't. We have babied dedication; not nearly the same. Baptism should be reserved to a person who fully understands just what baptism means.
