How would you feel react to 

your child getting baptised out of your faith while with the ncp?

there is a  6 page post over there I testing responses.

 My ex and I are the same religion so this is not an issue for me.  I would say though if my child did something like that without even talking to me I would be disappointed

    I am a SM but I believe that is a decision that both parents need to make together or the child makes when they are old enough to decide. My SD was baptized when DH and BM were still together but BM made the decision and told DH it was happening no matter

    How would you feel if your ex converted to a different faith? My H left Mormonism after he and BM divorced. She has said more than once she doesn't agree w us taking SS to our church we are born again Christians and go to a non denominational church. But,

    The only religions that baptise are christian. I'm not picky about denomination so it isn't really possible for my child to get baptised outside of my faith. I would have a huge problem with my children being involved in an important religious ceremony

    The post on PB, is about a teen, not an infant or small child. The girl is raised catholic at dad's and visits another church at grandma's.

    Here's the thing.  FEW Christian Sects baptize babies: pretty much the Apostolic Churches, like the Catholics or Anglicans.  The rest that have a ceremony with babies DEDICATE them. 

    There is a huge differ

    MH and I are agnostic (or atheist depending on the day), so take my two cents for what they're worth. I was raised Methodist and MH was raised Mormon. XH is atheist last I knew. 

    Our position with the kids is that they can believe

    I wouldn't really care if someone baptised my kid any more than I would if they walked them through a fairy ring or took them to a fortune teller.

    Im an athiest so ita all pretend to me.

    I would however probably be disappointed

    DH and BM were both atheists when they were together. They have joint custody. After their divorce, BM chose a faith and started taking the kids to church and sunday school. DH complained to court that BM did this without ever consulting him. Court said t

    If you have joint custody this is a major no no.  They can file a contempt of court and this would look REALLY bad on the ncp in court I assume.

    Of course if it's a teenager then I would assume by 15+ they can make their own decesion regardi

    SS's (10 and 8) have been asking to get baptized for almost 2yrs now. Its been discussed w/ BM (as it should) and she would like them to wait until they are older which is completely understandable. They go to church w/ grandpa and sometimes us, I'm prett

    If the child is old enough to make an expression of faith, and attends church, I don't think that has much to do with the NCP.  We are NCPs and SD was baptized in our church.  BM was not pleased at first, but she did not attend church and SS

    Unless it was something crazy or harmful I have no issue with XH exposing the kids to whatever faith he likes during his time, I would also hope he wouldnt have an issue with me doing so. I find it odd that someone would object to a parent showing their c
