Yes. However, the Baptism must be Trinitarian (In the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), with the same understanding of the Trinity as the Catholic Church (that the Trinity is three different Persons, but one God), and done with water (either by immersion, pouring, or sprinkling)

What is the difference between Anglican church and Christian church?
The Anglican church is one group of denominations within the larger Christian church -- unless you mean the groups that grew out of the Restoration movement and Campbell in the 1800's. These groups have a congregational governance, rather than the episcopal governance of the Anglicans. They emphasize believer, rather than infant baptism. They practice "ordinances" of baptism and communion, rather than sacraments. More differences of doctrine and practice, but all believe in salvation through God's son, Jesus Christ.
Why do Catholic only receive confirmation?
No. Other Christian denominations have Confirmation too. However, in Orthodoxy, it is done right after the baby is baptized, & in most Protestant denominations(with the possible exception of the Anglican Church), it is not counted as a Sacrament.
What is the difference between baptism and sprinkling?
Baptism typically involves full immersion in water, symbolizing a cleansing and rebirth of the individual's faith. Sprinkling, on the other hand, involves sprinkling water on the individual's head as a symbol of purification and blessing. Both practices are common in various Christian denominations.
Does a child or an adult born of a Christian married couple need to be baptized as Christian?
It all depends what denomination you belong to. Some denominations teach that infant baptism is necessary. Others believe baptism is only for those who are old enough to accept Jesus for themselves. Baptism for all Christians is required by God at some point.

Can you use anything else instead of water for Baptism?
The Rite of Baptism in most Christian churches involves Holy (blessed) Water and Holy (blessed) Water. Some denominations use springs or streams, or even a bathtub filled with water--these are blessed by the clergy just before the Baptism. Full immersion (indoor or outdoor) for adult Baptism is practiced in many denominations; other denominations use a Baptismal font (especially for infant Baptism) or sprinkling of Holy Water on the person's forehead.For example, a disabled child or bedridden adult would not be denied Baptism just because they cannot be dunked or immersed in water. The Rite of Baptism is not to exclude, but to include people into the Family of God.

What does baptism and comformation mean?
It depends on the denomination. In some denominations, baptism is done to babies and in others only to older children or adults. It is done either by immersing the person in water or pouring water over their head. This symbolizes their being reborn in Christ and means that they are officially a Christian. Some denominations do not require baptism and others do. Not all denominations perform confirmation. In denominations that baptize babies, confirmation typically happens later, as an older child or adult. In denominations that baptize older children and adults, confirmation usually takes place shortly after baptism. How confirmation is done and what it means varies from denomination to denomination. It is usually done by the laying on of hands, sometimes after being annointed with oil. It is seen as a sealing of the baptism or as a coming of age ceremony. Some denominations also believe that after being confirmed, a person has the right to receive spiritual gifts and personal guidance from God.
Do other religions celebrate confirmation?
Most Christian denominations have Confirmation. However, in Orthodox Christianity, a child is Confirmed right after Baptism, & in some Protestant Churches, it is not recognized as a Sacrament.
Why do some christians not agree with only adults being baptised?
Baptism is considered a sign of God's covenant, a continuation of circumcision. The Abrahamic covenant was with a nation of people: the 'believers' and their household. Likewise baptism is administered to the infants in a household by many Christian denominations.
