How do you bless something?
Someone here posted that you can't bless something - they are wrong. You can. You need holy water. You can make holy water by saying a quick player over it, and ... well blessing the water. Believe it or not - when I was a young chap I asked the same thing to a nun - and this is what she told me. I was pressing her to a point about how to baptize someone when they are dying, and you have no holy water around - she told me to even use... saliva.... i don't know if she was just sick of my questions... but yeah. Then you simply say - I bless you, in the name of the Father and the Son and the holy Spirit. Now how accurate this is... not sure - but its as much as I know and it was a nun that directed me on this.
Do church teachers have authority to baptize?
Catholic AnswerNormally, only the ordained clergy: deacons, priests, and bishops have the authority to baptize, however, in an emergency ANYONE can baptize, even a person who has not been baptized. All they need to do is pour plain water (and only water) over the person's head while saying, "I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." They must intend to do what the Church does while they do this. Non-Catholic AnswerNon-Catholic Christians believe that the great commission was given by Jesus to all believers/disciples: Matthew 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,So any Christian can baptize a new believer. But an unbeliever has no authority to baptize.
What are you baptized in?
Well, If you're a young child you just put holy water on the middle of your forehead and make your mom or dad or whom say a prayer.

And if you meant the location that you could get baptized in then at home if you have holy water put it in your bathtub and baptize yourself and you could also get baptized at a church

Which sects of Christianity practice baptism?
Nearly all Christian churches baptize. They follow the example of John the Baptist, and the instructions of Jesus Christ and Saint Paul, as set forth in the New Testament. The meaning and procedure of baptism varying among the Christian churches. For example, the Anglican, Lutheran, Methodist, Reformed, and Catholic churches baptize by the act of sprinkling or pouring water upon the individual's head. Baptists and similar churches baptize in the way it's described in the Holy Bible. This is known as immersion (submerging a person into water). This is when the entire body is placed under water. But, these churches have an individual make a voluntary statement of faith in Jesus Christ as their Savior. Therefore the churches will not baptize anyone too young to realize the significance of such a statement.

Do you have to marry in the Catholic Church to baptize your children?
If you are going to contract a marriage with a person who is not Catholic, and you wish to marry that person in the Church they belong, you may do so provided you have a dispensation. It is not necessary, therefore to marry in the Catholic Church to baptize your children. But it IS necessary to raise them in the PRACTICE of the Catholic Faith if you want your children baptized. This means YOU must make a concerted effort to attend Mass on Sunday's or Holy Days of obligation, and bring your children.
