In scripture it seems that when the head of a household is baptized his entire household is baptized as well. If this is true, does this principle extend to chieftains, princes, and kings that are baptized? Should their subjects also be baptized? In either case, I am not talking about forcibly baptizing those who are opposed to it, but baptizing those who give their consent without giving explicit evidence of faith and those too young to articulate their faith.
This question is really for fellow paedobaptists as I don't expect any credobaptists to share the same the same understanding of household baptisms, but everyone is free to participate.
