Answer 1

Catholic Baptism
The Roman Catholic Church teaches that salvation is by baptismal regeneration and is maintained through the Catholic sacraments unless a willful act of sin is committed that breaks the state of sanctifying grace. The Bible teaches that we are saved by grace which is received through simple faith (Ephesians 2:8-9), and that good works are the result of a change of the heart wrought in salvation (Ephesians 2:10; 2 Corinthians 5:17) and the fruit of that new life in Christ (John 15).



Christian baptism

Christian baptism, according to the Bible, is an outward testimony of what has occurred inwardly in a believer’s life. Christian baptism illustrates a believer’s identification with Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection. The Bible declares, “Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life” (Romans 6:3-4 NIV). In Christian baptism, the action of being immersed in the water pictures being buried with Christ. The action of coming out of the water pictures Christ’s resurrection.

In Christian baptism, there should be two requirements before a person is baptized: (1) the person being baptized must have trusted in Jesus Christ as Savior, and (2) the person must understand what baptism signifies. If a person knows the Lord Jesus as Savior, understands that Christian baptism is a step of obedience in publicly proclaiming his faith in Christ, and desires to be baptized – then there is no reason to prevent the believer from being baptized. According to the Bible, Christian baptism is simply a step of obedience, a public proclamation of one’s faith in Christ alone for salvation. Christian baptism is important because it is a step of obedience – publicly declaring faith in Christ and commitment to Him, and identification with Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection.

Answer 5

In the area of Ireland my grandfather's family was from, the right of arm a male baby was never submerged nor moistened with Holy Water.
In this way, a little bit of the Wild Celt remains - the child is better able to wield his sword, or embrace a few women, on his way to the battle.
I'm not certain what the Pentacostal ways are - are they wildly different from other mainline Protestant or Catholic baptisms?

Cindy - the Catholic church requires that adherents choose to complete the Sacraments of First Communion and Confirmation; these are chosen as the person is older. We also choose to remain in the religion we're born into; we generally don't need a major life crisis to do so, unlike the "born again" types.
Most mainline Protestant churches also baptize their babies. It's only a few newer, extremist, fundamentalists sects (often from the more impoverished areas of the Deep South) who require some sort of adult baptism - I think mainly for recruiting purposes!

Answer 6

Catholics are Christians, though not all Christians are Catholics.
"Christening" is a term used by some people to refer to baptism.
Some protestants do not believe in baptizing young children, but wait until the person can make the personal decision. But most protestants baptize infants similarly to Catholics.
Also, some protestants require full-body baptism, while most Churches (including Catholics) pour water on the head since this is more convenient. Of course full body baptism is accepted by all Christians.

I'm in a similar situation with my husband. I am a Christian and he is not. We just had a baby not too long ago. Fortunately, our parents are letting us make the decision as to how to raise our son. We have decided that every other Sunday (starting when he is weaned) he will go to church with me and the other SUndays, will be with his dad while I go to church. I did have my baby blessed (like a christening) and given a name in my church. But we don't baptize infants. We believe in each person having their own choice as far as what to believe. So, when our son is 8, he will have the choice to wither be baptized or not. You are doing well to have an open-minded relationship and it's great that you don't mind each other's religions. Your child is yours to raise, not your parents'. You have every right to raise your child how you think is right. My suggestion is to let your child decide. Teach her both religions and then let her make her own decision.

Answer 8

Well, I was just going to say that if you are christened later in life then you understand the ramifications of the ritual and know what it means to be whatever religion it is. But when you are christened as a baby you know nothing and have no choice.

Answer 9

Was this an issue before you got married? I'm guessing that your parents and his parents were against your marriage, correct? There is a solution, however, I suggest that you both choose to become Bible believing followers of Christ and raise your child accordingly so that your child will be sanctified by your faith until such time that he/she makes their own choice about whether to accept or reject Christ. No doubt that this decision will not sit well with your parents or his. You have to ask yourself the question, as a parent, do I need to do what's best for my child, or do what you think might please someone else?

Answer 10

Catholics believe that you must christen or baptize an infant.

There is no basis for this in the bible anywhere, even hinted at. Baptism is always described with adults.

Christians believe that you must be old enough to understand exactly what you are doing and why, as we believe that the act of baptism has no solid value. Meaning if you do it without understanding why you did it, it has no value.

Baptism is an outward showing of an inward change.
