    3. Most denominations that I am aware of practice baptism of converts not previously baptized. This includes those denominations that generally practice infant baptism. The only denomination that I know practices adult baptism exclusively is Primitive Baptist. You may find more information in Understanding and Using Baptismal Records by John T. Humphrey (see http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Using-Baptismal-Records-Humphrey/dp/1887609105/ ). The author discusses the baptismal practices of a number of denominations.

Not knowing what your project or reason for asking is, you might do well to study the practices of the various religions and their churches. Researching the topic yourself, it would be much easier to find churches that practiced infant baptism, such as Catholic. Most churches practice baptism from the time one professes faith in Christ through to death. Mormons (LDS), I believe practice baptism after death. ~ Trevia Trevia Wooster Beverly Houston, Texas 713-864-6862 Corresponding Secretary, Harris County Historical Commission (1995-) - http://www.historicalcommission.hctx.net/ Chairman, Advisory Council, Baytown Historical Preservation Assoc.

    3. Many Protestant denominations have infant dedication which is when the parents dedicate themselves to raising the child in the faith. Later the child makes their own commitment and gets baptized at that time.
