Who can administer the sacrament of baptism?

The sacrament of baptism can be administered by absolutely anyone provided they pour water so that it comes into contact with the person being baptized and say, "I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." Even if the person administering baptism does not understand the import of his actions, the baptism is valid, for it is efficacious through the merits of Christ and the minister's intention is supplied by the Church, whose sacrament it is.This depends upon the policy of the local church and its denomination. Generally, it is a properly ordained pastor who administers baptism. Youth leaders, church elders, etc. are not permitted to baptize in most churches.

Baptism itself, not merely the oil, cleanses from original sin. When the water is poured on the person being baptized, and the baptismal formula is pronounced, "I baptize you in the name...", then "grace" is said to be poured forth from God into that individual's soul to restore its status as a child of God. The oil used during baptism is the "Sacred Chrism" which signifies the participation of the one baptized in the prophetic, priestly, and kingly offices of Christ.

Therefore baptism is complete immersion or submersion in water, not a mere pouring or sprinkling. The Bible examples of baptism corroborate this fact. Jesus was baptized in a sizable river, the Jordan, and after being baptized he came "up out of the water." (Mark 1:10; Matthew 3:13, 16)
