Going by what I know from the Orthodox church (which has the same doctrine as the Catholic), when an infant is 'baptised', the Godparent literally accepts Christ and rejects Satan on behalf of the baby. This is scripturally unfounded, as nobody can accept Christ on behalf of anyone else. We all must make the decision to believe for ourselves. But without the ritual of infant baptism, Catholic babies are left without any form of blessing.
no angel dear, a godparent is present at baptism to make the vow that if anyrthing that happens to the childs parents, that they will assume the responsibility of raising the child in christ. you dont need scriptural support to make this vow.
Messianics, as I have observed, solve this problem by a special ceremony in church to bless the children. All the youngsters of the congregation gather at the altar and a large cloth is held over them and blessings are pronounced over them. The ceremony is performed regularly, so that the children will be blessed many times by the time they come of age. It is a beautiful, perfect ritual. Just because a child is not old enough to reject the wrong and choose the right (Jesus), this does not mean they cannot be blessed. I don't think a child who dies in infancy without being 'baptised' will go to hell; Jesus said, in essence, that children have guardian angels and are always in the presence of God. For Him to say that the kingdom of God belongs to them, He is saying they are pure enough to enter it and also, that they don't need to do anything to enter the presence of God. If they did, He would have told us.

stick with your church angel. this messianic ritual may be quite beautiful but it is MORE unfounded than the one u have.
children do not go to hell if they are not baptized and your church doesnt teach you this. dont believe me? check it up! they dont go to heaven, but they dont go to hell either.
also, infants dont gather at the altar. unless the messianics have the power to invoke the holy spirit, their prayers might not be successful. in the church, even a priest doesnt have this power. SAMS think that they have it, they can hurl it like a baseball??
your church has the altar ritual which confirms the oath of your parents and godparents which you mentioned above. it is called confirmation. this is not an infant but a child who is old enuf to speak for themselves. the first (infant) baptism is by water, this confirmation is the baptism of the holy spirit.
speaking of the holy spirit:.....
in my church which im a member forty years there was a woman who passed out and fell to the floor in the pew any time the priest mentioned the holy spirit. to this day i could never figure out if she was a fake or something really was going on. i always wondered, is that a good thing or bad thing? one day she went down and the people rushed to her aid and the priest giving the service said, " dont worry about her, she does it alot. she will be okay."
id swear something fishy was going on but i remembered a young girl in my grade school years that did the same thing. every time the holy spirit was mentioned, it was like someone turned off her switch. has anyone else heard of such a thing?
