65--this is what I could find, but once again I am not the one who will be able to matter of factly answer these questions.
Although most Protestant traditions baptize babies, Baptists and those influenced by Baptists insist that baptism is only for those who have come to faith. Nowhere in the New Testament, they point out, do we read of infants being baptized.
On the other hand, nowhere do we read of children raised in believing households reaching the age of reason and then being baptized. The only explicit baptism accounts in the Bible involve converts from Judaism or paganism. For children of believers there is no explicit mention of baptism?either in infancy or later.
As we will see, there is no doubt that the early Church practiced infant baptism. Though passages in the New Testament contain principles supporting infant baptism. (e.g., Acts 2:38, 1 Peter 3:21), the first overt statements that the children of believing households were baptized comes from the early Church?where infant baptism was uniformly upheld and regarded as apostolic. In fact, the only reported controversy on the subject was a third-century debate whether or not to delay baptism until the eighth day after birth, like its Old Testament equivalent, circumcision. (see quotation from Cyprian, below; compare Lev. 12:2?3, Col 2:11?12).
Consider, too, that Fathers raised in Christian homes. (such as Irenaeus) would hardly have upheld infant baptism as apostolic if their own baptism had been deferred until the age of reason.
For example, infant baptism is assumed in Irenaeus? writings below. (since he affirms both that regeneration happens in baptism, and also that Jesus came so even infants could be regenerated). Since he was born in a Christian home in Smyrna around the year 140, this means he was probably baptized around 140. He was also probably baptized by the bishop of Smyrna who at that time was Polycarp, a personal disciple of the apostle John, who had died only a few decades before.
There's a lot of "probablys" but it's what i could find.
