I knew a man who didn't get baptized until he was in his 40s. Spent his life going to the CoC 3 times a week whenever possible but never went through with baptism until he had retired from the Army. He's also the only person I have personally known who got "Stop-loss" orders. He was set to get out and go home and the Army stopped his discharge and sent him to Afghanistan for 10 months.

He must have had a very valuable and unique skill set for the army to do that.

The youngest I've seen was a 5-year-old. It was at a non-denominational church, and the kid was surprisingly articulate about his faith. Most of the baptisms I've witnessed were with kids around 10-12, usually tied to their confirmation classes. I got baptized at 11.
