If you want someone to come to something, you should give them reasons for coming. In this case, I think it's best to get across how big a thing this is for you. Why are you getting baptised? Why would you want your friend to be there, rather than leave it as a private ceremony? These are the kind of things you could get across to her. She can come to support you even if she doesn't agree with what it signifies. I think I would go to someone's marriage even if I thought it was an outdated, sexist institution.

Just ask her. Even though she doesnt believe doesnt mean she wont come. She is your best friend and I am sure she would have nothing against a baptism anyway. Most athiests are respectful(regardless of what you see on these boards) and do show up to these things for their families.

If she's really your friend she should already be comfortable with your spirituality. To be present as you make such an important step, whether she believes in it or not, an act of friendship and be more important than not coming as a demonstration of protest againest belief.

Yes you should ask her
Pray about it before you ask your friend that the Lord will have her accept your invitation.
It only takes faith the size of a mustard seed,
maybe she will hear something in the service that will cause her to ask questions. What a great opportunity for you. good luck & GOD BLESS!!

Just tell her that there's an important event in your life that you'd like her to be a part of. If she's a good friend, it won't matter where it is or what it's about.
Congratulations by the way

Just ask her to come, don't make her feel like you are trying to push religion down her throat or anything. Just tell her you want her to be there as your friend, nothing else. If she is your best friend, she should come just to support you. Congrats on your baptism. You never know what might happen to your friend if you can get her there. God moves in mysterious ways!!

Just ask her and tell her even though she is a atheist she is your friend and you want her to be there. Who knows maybe God will speak to her heart.

If she is truly your friend she shouldn't have any problems with it because this is something you would like to have her present for. Don't feel that you cannot ask her to go Ask her! I am sure she will say yes. it would be rude to say No.

It's fine to invite people of other faiths (or no faith) to baptisms. It's a special event for you. Just say I know you're not religious, but it would mean a lot to me if you were there.

Tell her that you have accepted jesus Christ as your savior and that he has changed your life. Tell her that you are being baptized in obedience to God and as a public display of your love and commitment to Christ. Let her know how important this is to you and that you would like her to share in this the greatest ecision of your life.
God Bless
