When should a believer be baptized?
It is common for churches which practice believer’s baptism to administer the ordinance to children aged eight or nine, following some training in the rudiments of the faith. Seventh day Adventists generally consider that around age 12, young people are equipped to make reasoned decisions and may choose to be baptized.
