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.
