Baptism should occur only when the party to be baptised is old and wise enough to make an informed decision on whether or not to consent.

Can there or should be only one baptism by water in the Methodist?

That depends on your religion. Some religions, such as Catholics, hold a baptism by "sprinkling" an infant, and occasionally an adult will ask for a second. Others, such as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints ("Mormons"), will refuse a second baptism because the ordinance is not granted until the member is eight or older and has chosen to join.

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.
