Re: What the CoC is right about?
Infants have no knowledge or awareness they are being baptized, so it doesn't force them into anything. It is just symbolic and sprinkles some water on their heads. They don't know or care what is going on. Confirmation takes place at different ages in different religions. With Presbyterian it is ar...

Re: What the CoC is right about?
Infant baptism is "confirmed" when the child reaches a certain age, usually 15 or 16. So they really are given a choice as a later age.

Re: Women required by scripture to wear skirts to church
The CoC I grew up in had a preacher who actually preached women could not wear pants to worship. The logic was somewhat tortured. And he wasn't a real conservative type overall. I remember he would also say in his sermons he would rather one of his daughters marrying a black person who was a Christ...
