Summary/Abstract: To our society, the topic of Christian baptism, particularly that of christening children, viewed inter-denominationally can give rise to heated debate, often with different outcome. In a world where mankind demands arguments for anything, the argument of naturalness tends to disappear. This idea, launched recently in the modern society of the 21st century, of freedoms and liberties of each person, with an emphasis placed upon coming of age tends to come close to the tradition and practice of the Orthodox Church. Regarding the questions and the issue of children's baptism raised by some denominations nowadays, I consider this study opportune.
