Before getting baptized, however, a youngster should have a personal relationship with Jehovah, a sound understanding of the fundamentals of the Scriptures, and a clear comprehension of what dedication involves, as is the case with adults.
رَغْمَ ذلِكَ ،‏ لَا يُمْكِنُ لِلْأَطْفَالِ حَتْمًا أَنْ يَصِيرُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ ،‏ يَتَّخِذُوا ٱلْقَرَارَاتِ ،‏ أَوْ يَنْتَذِرُوا للهِ .‏
