Best Answer

Who performs a baptism depends on the denomination or church that you are being baptized in. The baptism is usually performed by the head Priest, Pastor, Minister, Bishop, etc of the congregation. In some denominations, others are also qualified to perform a baptism, such as a deacon or elder.

What do you call person being baptized?

Baptism is a symbolic gesture in which the person 'dies' or is submerged under water, and is then 're-born' as a new person in Christ.

What is the normal age for baptism?

There isn't a definite age that Christians are baptized. In some denominations, they are baptized as babies. In others, they are baptized usually around high school age, but are not limited to that age. For Christians who are baptized later and not as babies, it is a matter of personal decision, each person has a different time that they feel 'ready' to be baptized and declare their faith.
