do you have to be christened in a church or do it in your own ceremony?

Answer 1

God 'Christened' me. So I guess I don't have to go anywhere.

Answer 2

Umm, people have this backwards lol In the Catholic Church, the occasion is known as a Christening. It's now not most effective the occasion in which a little one is 'baptized', but additionally viewed the 'bringing out' of the little one and naming of the godparents. Protestant faiths should not have Christenings or baptism for his or her toddlers and babies. We do what's known as a "willpower" and blessing of the congregation. The motive is that this; baptism for us Protestants manner to be given Christ as your savior and be publicly dunked as a exhibit of that recognition, to come up a brand new individual in Christ. Obviously, a little one could make no such determination lol. So we now have a rite in which the mom and dad are well-nigh publicly pronouncing they're going to lift the little one in a Christian residence and the congregation and pastor say a prayer and ask God's blessing at the residence and little one. The Catholic's nonetheless name the rite a Christening, and get in touch with the specific sprinkling of water at the little one the baptism. Get the change? Hope that is helping.

Answer 3

Christened? I take it you mean "Baptized" (I have not heard of it as "Christened" before.). Well if the bible is any indication, in which I think it is. Yeshua (Jesus) was baptized by Yochnan the Immerser (John the Baptist) in the wilderness at the Jordan River. So in my opinion: No, you do not need to be christened at any specific place. If the person you are being baptized into the name of was baptized himself in wilderness, you can be baptized anywhere you wish. The only other thing I can get from that is possibly you have to be baptized in the Jordan River. But that seems a really long stretch of the truth.

Answer 4

In the Catholic, Episcopal and probably Lutheran and other Protestant churches, baptism is a sacrament. It's public; it takes place in a church.
From the American Catholic:

"Baptism happens not only to the individual, but also to Christ's body, the Church. That's why the rite insists that we celebrate Baptism in the Christian assembly, with the community present and actively participating."

Answer 5

I have been baptised and Baptism is a public declaration of faith in Christ by the believer before man. It is his outward demonstration of an inward act, and is a picture of the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Immersion fully portrays the place of death; there are some people, even today, who have met actual physical death after coming up out of the baptismal waters. Those who have come out of other religions evaluate the ordinance of baptism more highly than those who have been raised in Christian homes. Not only does baptism show the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, but it also shows the believer’s identification with Christ. Baptism is his full declaration of his own death in Christ (II Cor. 5:14): dead to sin, dead to self and dead to the old life. It is also his declaration of being raised with Christ, after burying the old life, to walk in newness of life with Him.
