Well now sister or brother, whoever you are, that’s up to you. I’ve got a little girl…My little boy, Billy Paul, was sixteen years old, and I baptized him in the Name of the Lord Jesus right here. My little girl was eight years old. She come to me and got up on my lap, and she said, “Daddy, I want to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and I—I want to be baptized.” And I baptized the little girl at eight. When, if them little kiddies want to be baptized, baptize them. If they’re not, why, if they’re…just go ahead, that’s up to you, whatever the Lord said.
