Where can i find my baptism paperwork?
You have to contact the Church where you were baptized in. They should have records, even if it was a long time ago, of anyone who was baptized in their church.

Why doesn't the Catholic Church recognize a Baptist baptism?
As far as I know, the Catholic Church does recognize the baptist baptism as valid, it being a Christian denominatiion that also uses the same formula of wording.Roman Catholic AnswerTo the best of my knowledge, any baptism which is performed with water that actually runs on the forehead, and uses the words, "I baptise you N in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit (or Holy Ghost) - or the same words in another language; with the intention of doing what the Church does - is considered a valid baptism.
I have a baptism certificate but dont know where I was baptised?
This depends on which church you were baptised into. The churches of the Anglican Communion, The Roman Catholic Church, and the Orthodox churches all keep baptismal records. Alternatively, your certificate should note your Godparents- they would know where you were baptised since they were present. Your parents will have also been present. If you know the geographical location generally of your baptism (in a certain town or city, for example) you should contact the pastor or priest of the relevant denomination of your baptism. Baptisms in some churches are seen as valid in others, other churches may require you to be 'rebaptised'. Since Baptism is full and effective, you cannot be baptised more than once. See http://www.cofe.anglican.org/lifeevents/baptismconfirm/sectiona.html for more information.

Can a child be baptized in church of England AND a catholic church?
Yes, but there is no real reason to.Some Catholics do not regard the baptism of a person as valid unless it is carried out in the Catholic church. However, as long as the baptism of a person is carried out in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit (as instituted by Jesus himself at the very end of Matthew's Gospel) then that baptism is valid whatever the denomination. One is baptised a Christian and not a member of a particular denomination of the Christian Church. Therefore to be baptised again into another denomination is not only not needed, it could be regarded as a snub on the denomination in which the first baptism took place - as ifm it wasn't a 'proper' baptism - and, as such, is unChristian.As the Anglican Church, Catholic Church, Baptists, Methodists, URC and almost all other denominations of the Christian Church baptise in this way, in the name of the Trinity, then all are valid according to scripture. Those that are not include Mormon baptism (where the vows and beliefs are so different) and the baptism of Jehovah's Witnesses who deny the divinity of Christ and therefore cannot baptise in the name of the Trinity as commanded in Matthew's Gospel.
Is a christening cup used in a Catholic baptism?
There is no christening cup in a baptism. Christening cups, as far as I know, were popular presents at a baptism, beginning in the 19th century. I have never heard of one actuallyl being used in a baptism, Catholic or otherwise.
Why is Baptism so difficult in the Catholic Religion?
Unlike some protestant faiths, the Catholic Faith believes that Baptism is not just a way to join the Church, it is a Sacrament. Baptism changes you permanently by making you a child of God. The Church will not baptize you unless you are ready to believe what the Church teaches, and you have to be taught what those teachings are first.Roman Catholic AnswerYes, as the answer above indicates, Baptism changes a person ontologically - in their very substance, they are a different "thing" then they were before. They are now a child of God and have serious responsibilities. You do not have to know all of these responsibilities before hand, as in when an infant is baptised, but that baptism changes how you approach life, and how you will be judged. It is not just grace, but the responsibility to live up to that grace, to live the life that God has given you, in His great mercy.

Is baptism necessary?

You have been chistained with Church of England as a baby can your children be baptised with roman catholic?
Roman Catholic AnswerYour child may be baptised as a Catholic if you can convince the priest that there is an excellent chance that the child will be educated and brought up Catholic, otherwise there is no chance. Baptism, aside from its sacramental gifts, imposes a legal obligation to live by the laws of the Church. Thus, for instance, the child would be bound by the marriage laws of the Catholic church. If he were not taught them then he would be in formal sin (he would be committing a sin he didn't even know about) and the responsibility would be yours.
