Question

I'm turning 19 in December and i have never been baptized.

I want to be baptized catholic.
I have put a lot of thought into this but i don't know how to do it?
how would i go about doing that?

Answer 1

Contact your local catholic parish and make an appointment with the priest
You are too late fro most RCIA groups but the priest might be able to refer you to classes or an instructor. Most adult baptisms take place on Easter Vigil

Answer 2

Have you ever been saved?Have you ever been Born Again, you know, accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, getting baptized with some water willnot get you to Heaven and does not make you a true Born Again Christian, Only by confessing your sins and asking Jesus to come into your heart will you truly be saved. Please read in the book of Acts chapter 8 and especially verse 37, you must believe first before you can be baptized, here is a sinners prayer you can pray and be saved if you believe, pray it will all your heart and soul, just pray Dear Jesus, I know and confess that I am sinner in need of salvation. I believe you died on a cross at calvery and arose from the grave to wash away my sins, I ask you right now to come into my heart and save me, I pray this Prayer believing in the name of Jesus Amen. If you prayed this prayer with a sincere heart you are now a child of God, rejoice that your name is written in the Lambs book of Life. Jesus will now send his Holy Spirit to come and live in your heart and guide you into all truth. If you have any questions just send me an email, God Bless YOU!!

Answer 3

You have a very worthy goal and that is to get baptized but the one most important step to do before this is to make sure that the religion you have chosen is the correct one. How do you go about doing that you might ask? The bible has instructions about how to tell how to be in line with God's requirements. I am enclosing an article that I think you might find interesting and I hope that you will seriously consider before you take this most important step. You can use your own bible to read the scriptures included.

Here are a few paragraphs from the link I am sending for you:

HOW would you protect yourself if you knew that a deadly epidemic was raging in your area? You would likely build up your immune system and stay away from people who are contagious. We must do the same in a spiritual sense. The Scriptures tell us that the antichrist “is already in the world.” (1 John 4:3) If we want to escape “infection,” we must identify the “carriers” and avoid them. Thankfully, the Bible sheds considerable light on the subject

1 John 4:3 says:
3 but every inspired expression that does not confess Jesus does not originate with God. Furthermore, this is the antichrist’s [inspired expression] which YOU have heard was coming, and now it is already in the world.

Because Jesus’ disciples are persecuted “on account of [Jesus’] name,” the persecutors are clearly antichrist, against Christ. The “false prophets,” some of whom were once Christians, are also in that category. (2 John 7) These “many antichrists,” wrote John, “went out from us, but they were not of our sort; for if they had been of our sort, they would have remained with us.”—1 John 2:18, 19.

The words of both Jesus and John plainly indicate that the antichrist is not a single person but is made up of many individual antichrists. Moreover, because they are false prophets, one of their main objectives is religious deception. What are some of their devices?

A DECEIVER WITH MANY FACES
The word “antichrist” applies to all who deny what the Bible says about Jesus Christ, all who oppose his Kingdom, and all who mistreat his followers. It also includes individuals, organizations, and nations that falsely claim to represent Christ or that improperly ascribe to themselves the role of Messiah by presumptuously promising to achieve that which only Christ can do—bring about true peace and security.

Paul gave the warning below:

In view of the foregoing, we should heed the apostle John’s words not to take our religious beliefs lightly or for granted. “Do not believe every inspired expression,” he warns, “but test the inspired expressions to see whether they originate with God, because many false prophets have gone forth into the world.”—1 John 4:1.



I hope that you enjoy reading the article and will do so with and open mind.

Answer 4

Baptism by water with John the Baptist was a type and shadow of the Christians Baptist into Christ. Baptism in the Greek means to "introduce". If you want to get baptized then "Read the Bible". Then you can decided what tradition to follow.

Answer 5

Walk into the church and up to the priest and tell him you want to be baptized into his cult. He'll have you drink blood and eat flesh. Make sure to ask him if the punch is spiked with poison or not.

Answer 6

Water baptism cannot save, and it is not required for salvation. Catholics are not saved because catholics believe a false gospel of works that leads to eternal hell (Galatians 1).

Answer 7

This late in the game they will probably make you take some sort of a course about Catholicism.

It may be a good thing for you to do this. It may change your mind about wanting to be catholic.

Answer 8

Go to the parish and ask!

Have you had any instruction in the Faith? If not, you may need to attend RCIA in order that you understand completely that which you claim through Baptism.

Answer 9

you will need to take RCIA classes at your local Catholic parish.


make arrangements to meet with the pastor and he will explain everything to you.


congratulations on your choice.

Answer 10

BEING BABTIZED BY WATER IS SYMBOLIC OF CHRIST BEING BABTIZED. GO HAVE A TALK WITH YOUR PRIEST. BEYOND THIS, I FEEL YOU ARE BABITZED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT WHEN YOU ACCEPT CHRIST.
