We use a swimming pool or a lake or the ocean and immerse a new believer in the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Prior to being baptized, the person is encouraged to share how they became a Christian.
You have to be old enough to share how you became a Christian and you have to be old enough to ask to be Baptized.
When a parent asks about their child, the parents are told, have your child call the Pastor.
An 8 year old and 13 year old were Baptized a few weeks ago in someone's back yard swimming pool.

Baptism is entirely optional in my religion. We have two different ceremonies, one for infants or young children, and one for adults. The first one is more of a ceremony for the parents, and the celebration of new life, particularly life uncorrupted by ideals that run contrary to carnal nature. The "adult" baptism on the other hand is a formalized declaration of one's convictions in the religion (which we do not think an unaware child could possibly have or make). I myself partook of such a ceremony.
Like all of our ceremonies, these do not require any special clergy to conduct them. Any small group of adherents who gather the proper tools can perform it, making small changes if they wish. Both baptism ceremonies can be found in "The Satanic Rituals", available in most major book stores.

Baptism is for mature people who understand what it means to repent of their sins and know the Biblical definition of sin.
Infants and children do not fit this category. Infants, obviously have no capacity to make important decisions, nor do children even though they may know the truth.
It is by total immersion.
My personal belief is that baptisim can be performed by any converted person and is not limited to persons with ministerial credentials only.

The baptizer is a worthy priesthood holder and the baptized is at least 8 years old. They stand in the water in water clothes, and the baptizer says, with right arm at a right angle, "(first name) (middle) (last) Having been commissioned of Jesus Christ, I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, Amen." then they fully submerge the baptized in the water and raise them back up again. If they were not fully submerged it must be done again. Girls usually pin their hair up so it doesn't float to the surface.

we baptize with water to symbolize the death and ressurection of Jesus Christ. But we must also be baptized by the Holy spirit to truly be saved. Only if our Lord Jesus Christ sends us the comforter, the Holy spirit, shall we recieve salvation. For it is by his stripes we were healed, it is through his death that we have life. It is by the Grace of God we are saved.

The Bible way:
By immersion in the name of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit;
AND
after the person is saved.
