I myself have been through this even dragged up the stairs of a church so I know the feeling being badgered to get baptized just so someone can glory over it,forcing anyone to be a christian is WRONG,serving God is not about high seats,it's not about getting glory,it's not about how many people you can round up,and it's not about gloating,it's about caring for each other as God and Jesus have cared for us,you cannot be a true child of God and do his works when you only keep up appearances or worse harass people into going to the house of the lord for my bible says"I was glad to come to the house of the lord" not mom was glad or dad was glad ,nay it says "I was glad to come to the house of the lord" as in you have to be given the freedom to choose what you believe and no there is nothing wrong with taking kids to church even when they whine about it but when it comes to their decision of whether they believe in and will serve the lord you might as well picture God himself standing right in front of you saying "don't you dare trouble this child" is it any wonder even that it is written that if any should offend a child it were better that a mill stone be cast about their neck and thrown into the sea,because children believe quickly in God and Jesus where as we adults typically don't so I would urge everyone to put aside their hopes of selfish glory and actually LET God guide you to help people come to God,for if God is not in it then you are not righteous,you are self righteous and self righteousness is as filthy rags!
