as a Christian, I see the value of baptism, either as an infant or later as a believer making their own decision.
if you aren't a believer, and not a regular attender at church, why would you want to get your children baptised/Christened?
I'm fully for making the church a welcoming place, and hopefully you might like the fellowship and listen to the teaching and eventually decide to explore the faith further, and THEN, baptism makes sense, but can anyone explain a logical reason why a non believer would want to?
