[The following comment arises from the discussion on the validity
of baptism, though it doesn't seem to arise from any specific
comment, other than perhaps the mention of the Catholic practice
of emergency baptism.   --clh]

I find it strange that a new born needs baptism! Can someone tell me why?
If I read the Bible, I understand that baptism is unto repentance. Can
someone tell me what is a new born baby need to repent of? 

The second problem I have is regarding what happens if a new born baby won't
get baptized. Most of the world is not Christian. What happens if they are
not baptized? 

With brotherly love,
