Baptism
Amish people are baptized into their church between the ages of 16 and 25. Before it, the person is not permitted to marry. Only members of the same church are permitted to marry. Not to mention the fact that it normally occurs in a matter of seconds. This is unique among Christian denominations in that it is up to the parents to decide whether or not to baptize their children. The Amish culture, on the other hand, allows people to choose whether or not they want to be baptized. Children are not baptized since they are not of legal age to make such a decision.
