===Infant Baptism===
The Orthodox also practice infant baptism on the basis of various texts (e.g. [[Gospel of Matthew|Matthew]] 19:14) which are interpreted to condone full Church membership for children. This is generally based on a confession of faith for a child by his or her [[godparent]]s. The Orthodox Church does not practice infant baptism in order to cleanse the taint of [[original sin]], because this doctrine is not taught in the Orthodox Church.
