TALK TO YOUR PASTOR.

Talk to the pastor of your church. If you would prefer to have a more personal baptism I think most churches will do that, but may ask for a minimum donation or something like that. I don't know for sure as I do not believe in baptising babies and attend a church which holds the same beliefs. God bless.

Depending on what religious preference you have. Some do not permit infant baptismal as the child is not able to understand the teachings of the Bible. If you are catholic, then you can go to your pastor and have him perform the baptismal for the both of you when there is not a crowd. I personally do not believe that anyone should be baptized if they do not believe, or are able to understand the teachings of the Bible. Hope that this helps!

First of all, you need to look at yourself, and see what God you believe in, what Religion you believe in, and figure out what kind of Baptism you want. Some people believe that your Child should be Baptized at a young age, and others think that it shouldn't come until they are old enough to understand it. If you have any doubts, ask your Pastor, that's what they are there for, lol

Baptism is an Outward expression of your faith and should be done in public. does a confession of belief in christ embarass you? Don't let it. because he knows your heart.
Luke 12:7-9 (King James Version)
7But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
8Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
9But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
Contact a pastor and tell him you want to be baptized
a baby should be dedicated not baptized, that should wait until they are old enough to know what they are doing.
God Bless

The bible says we are to repent and be baptized.Acts 2:38
Mark 16:16 says "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved ; but he that believeth not shall be damned." Your Innocent baby is under grace until it becomes accountable.At that time your child should repent and be baptized.But right now it can't repent nor believe.The Catholic church greatly erred from the truth in this matter,but it was a sure fire way to keep the membership up.

Good for you. Talk with your pastor, or minister.
Some people believe that since babies cannot confess Jesus as their Savior, that they shouldnt get baptized until they are old enough to understand, and they do dedications instead. God Bless you, Pray for the answer.

Talk to a minister.
Scripture says Be baptized for the remission of your sins ---and it is a 'picture' of the burial and ressurection of Jesus.
A child shouldn't be Baptized until they are old enough to know what they are doing....in my opinion. Baptism alone won't save anyone .. It's great to pray for our children and dedicate them to God in prayer. Theres nothing to be embarassed about in front of others.

Hm... that will be pretty hard. Im guessing youre Catholic- hence the whole baby being baptized pickle. You should try to contact your parish for more information. Hope all goes well.

Well are you in a good church??? Go to your Pastor, he'll know what to do. If you don't have a church, go and find a good non-denominational / charasmatic church. They normally have the right perspective on things... make sure you go somewhere you feel comfortable.

You go through a process where water is sprinkled over the babies head.
