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.
