Is there a vicar in Norwich, UK that is prepared to baptise me in a discreet unattended ceremony?

Some of you people really obviously don't know what baptism is about. And it's sad that some of you have seen fit to have a big preaching session at me. You don't know who I am or my reasons so perhaps you could hold back your judgements and presumptions.
For those of you who haven't done this, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
When an adult chooses to be baptised, they offer themselves to God. It's not about the public display of whatever.
Some of you have asked why I need to be baptised: sorry guys I'm not allowed to discuss that, it's between God and me alone.

For those of you that have seen fit to give your opinion and undoubtedly do the same to others on other spiritual subjects, you might want to be careful that you know what you say is the truth.
IdahoMike, who gave you permission to stand judgement and turn people away from God? You've read a whole lot of inaccuracy in to my question, read it again. Then read your answer. Still your mind and your tongue. Think before you speak.

If you read and believe Romans 10:9 and 10 then you will be baptised in the holy spirit, the gift of God. Then you will not need a water baptism or a priest. God made it that simple, so that anyone could be saved. He didn't leave it to chance so that someone who couldn't be dipped in water by a white collar worker would miss out.

Baptism should be by total immersion by a priesthood holder who holds the authority to baptise in the name of Jesus Christ.
If you are feeling very troubled, why don't you get on your knees and talk to your Father in Heaven who understands you and loves you.

So what's holding you or hindering you from getting baptized?
I pray that you get baptized according to ACTS 2:38, and before getting baptized, make sure you understand what being born again means. As written in St. John 3:5.
I pray that you take your soul seriously in the name of the Lord Jesus. Amen

The act of Baptism dose not "save" you, if that is what you are thinking. Baptism is a public demonstration and professiopn of your faith in Salvation already received. If you aint already saved do'nt bother with the Baptism.

In my opinion that is not fully necessary. For the time being you can speak with God and let Him know how you feel. Tell Him that you are ready for Him in your life and want Him to always be there. Then you can start looking for someone to babtise you.

Have you noticed that everyone that was baptized in the Bible done it in public? Do vicars baptize or sprinkle? Baptism is by immersion in the Bible

the whole point of baptism is a public expression, a "discreet unattended ceremony" misses the point.
Jesus said, "If anyone is ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of him before my father."

why do you want to be discreet about it the hole point of it is to show people that jesus is number one in your life it looks like you need to get rid of some pride there.there is know place for pride.why be ashamed of it it is like being ashamed of jesus.
