How has the sacrament of baptism changed overtime?

Catholic AnswerThe basic rite of Baptism: either pouring water over the head or immersing the person in water and the words, "I baptise you, (name), in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit (Ghost)" has not changed since Jesus gave us this sacrament. Over the years, there have been various exorcisms and blessings added to the ceremony (or taken away), and the language has changed from Greek, to Latin, and now to the vernacular. But the basic rite is unchanged.
