Time For Baptism

After the Rumspringa, the Amish teenagers decide whether to continue their faith or live in the outside world. This is usually the period when they get baptized. The Amish reject infant baptism and believe in joining the church as adults.

When they get baptized, they are old enough to decide whether to join the church or find their own path. Once baptized, the members are now expected to practice the “Ordnung.” This means that they have to follow the rules of the church.
