Jesus was recorded being baptized when he was an adult...and he didn't let the local baptizers do it...he went out of the city to John the Baptist.
Except ye become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. ~ Matt. 18: 3.
Infant baptism is not allowed in my church, because we believe that little children are alive in Christ because of the Atonement. Little children are redeemed through the Only Begotten; Satan cannot tempt them. Children are to be taught the gospel and baptized when eight years old, in my church. All children who die before the age of accountability are saved, never needing baptism.
Edited to re-word my point...for a friend's sake.
