Baptism and christening

My parents weren't religious so attending church was foreign to me as a kid. We went to weddings and funerals but that's about it. Though I wanted to learn about it in primary school I wasn't allowed to study religious instruction unless my parents gave their permission. Nana Evelyn believed in christening babies as part of her faith so to make her happy we agreed to christen our children. I believe that a true baptism is when someone is old enough to choose for themselves at an age where they truly understand the meaning of rebirth in Christ. No mere sprinkling as a baby is enough to save us from sinning, nor grant us eternal life: it has to be a whole life changing experience taken very seriously...
