What should you say when baptising someone?

Answer 1

When you (as a 6 year old) dunk your 3 year old brother in a puddle and your mum sees this happen & says: 'Why did you do that ?' & you reply you were baptising him, 'In the name of the Father, Son & in the hole he goes.......'

Answer 2

The words of baptism, which are said as water is poured onto the person being baptised, are "I baptise you in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."

This is in keeping with 'The Great Commission' of Jesus as recorded in Matthew 28:19:

Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Anyone baptised with this formula is considered baptised by all Christian denominations. If they join a different church, they do not need to be baptised again. Anyone can baptise, such as a nurse or the mother or father in the case of a newborn baby near death or deceased (this would be referred to as conditional baptism, whose effectiveness would be known only to God).

Answer 3

"Upon your profession of faith and in accordance with the Lord's command, I baptize you, John Doe in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Buried in the likeness of His death and raised in the likeness of His resurrection."

Answer 4

I baptize you in the name of the father and of the son and of the Holy spirit Amen.

Answer 5

The Priest puts the holy spirit on you and takes the sin of Adam and Eve.
