I think the fault lies with 19th Century revivalism, Finney, Keswick, Moody etc. In our church, we always pray when we baptize an infant, the there will never be a time he can remember when he didn't believe. To join the church a testimony of belief in the Gospel is important. I have the opposite problem on this board - I feel like a weirdo because I DID have a crisis-conversion! It does happen, particularly if one isn't converted until adulthood.
