Do orthodox have baptism?
The word baptize comes from the Greek word 'baptizma' which means to immerse and completely cover in water. Sprinkling with water is called 'aspersion', but it is not the same as a baptism. An Orthodox baptism is recognized by all Catholics, but Catholic baptisms are not recognized by all Orthodox, because Catholic baptisms are actually done by aspersion or sprinkling, rather than by full immersion (which is what the Greek word 'baptize' means) and baptism has been the tradition of the Orthodox Church for the last 2,000 years.
What is the correct way to be baptize?
The right Baptism is the Baptism to the Orthodox Church . This is Because almost from the very beginning, Christians referred to the Church as the "One, Holy, Catholic (universal) and Apostolic Church". Today, in addition to the Orthodox Church, a number of other Christian churches lay claim to this title (including the Roman Catholic Church, the Anglican Communion, the Assyrian Church and the Oriental Orthodox Church); however, the Orthodox Church considers these other churches to be schismatic and, in some cases, heretical. In the Orthodox view, the Assyrians and Orientals left the Orthodox Church in the first few centuries after Christ, and later the Roman Catholics did the same, becoming the largest ever group to leave the Church. This event is known as the East-West Schism, and it is traditionally dated to the year 1054, although it was more of a gradual process than a sudden break.
