The only churches named the United Church those of mergers, such as the one in Washington, DC, which was from the joining together of the Union United Methodist Church and the Concordia United Church of Christ in 1975, and the Japanese American United Church in New York, which was formed by merger of three historic Japanese Christian churches in 1953, or those referred to as an abbreviation for United Presbyterian, Methodist, Church of Christ, etc. As far as "forming" the sacrament of Baptism, none of these churches did this. Historically, however, churches have either followed the practice of baptism by immersing a believer or new convert in water, or the practices of sprinkling or pouring water upon an individual, either for identifying with Christ after salvation or in the case of infant baptism, an identity within a Christian home of a child to be raise in the ways of Christ.
Ultimately, baptism was initiated as a Christian ordinance by Christ In Matthew 28:18-20, and Mark 16:15,16, as an identity with Him, after trusting in Him through the preaching of the Gospel. The Gospel is God's Good News of forgiveness through Christ's Sacrifice for our sins on the Cross. Previous to this Christian form, baptism was practiced as a Jewish ritual, signifying repentance for sins, as in Mark 1:4.

What is the baptism of the holy spirit?
For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit. 1 Cori. 12:13.This passage gives the doctrinal explanation for baptism of the Holy Spirit. By baptism of the Holy Spirit a body was formed and that body is the Body of Jesus Christ (church).Baptism of Holy spirit occurred on the day of Pentecost, that means the day of the Pentecost is the Birthday of the Church (Acts 2), and that particular incident never repeated in the history. Samaria, Caesarea, Ephesus incidents are unique and it was not the repetition of baptism of the Holy Spirit.For more Details, send your email to - viyojithan@Yahoo.com

At that time, there was no such thing as a Catholic or Orthodox Church, as everyone was part of the One Church. However, in 1054 AD, the West broke away and formed what is now known as the Roman Catholic Church. Following this, numerous Protestant groups were formed in the West, whereas the East remained united and unchanged, as the one Church that continued from 33 AD to the present day.
