Baptism and Christening

The movie "Baptism" has faced criticism for historical inaccuracies, particularly in its portrayal of certain events and characters. Critics argue that it takes creative liberties with timelines and character motivations, which can mislead viewers about the actual events. Additionally, the film's representation of cultural and religious practices may not fully align with their real-life complexities. Overall, while it may capture the essence of its themes, accuracy in detailing historical context can be lacking.

Conditional baptism in the Catholic Church is administered when there is uncertainty about the validity of an individual's original baptism. This practice ensures that if the person was not validly baptized before, they receive the sacrament, which is essential for salvation. It typically involves the priest stating, "If you are not already baptized, I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." Conditional baptism reflects the Church's commitment to the sacrament's importance while respecting the possibility of previous valid baptisms.

United Methodists are typically baptized by "sprinkling."

The jugs or containers used by priests during baptism are commonly referred to as "baptismal fonts" or "baptismal vessels." These can vary in design and material, but they typically hold water used for the sacrament of baptism. In some traditions, a specific jug or pitcher may be used to pour water over the individual's head during the ceremony.

"The Baptism of Jesse Taylor" is a song performed by American country music artist Johnny Russell. It was released in 1973 and became one of his signature songs. The song tells the story of a man named Jesse Taylor who undergoes a transformative experience through baptism.

A voice from the heavens said: this is my beloved son and the dove

Melchites are the people of Syria, Palestine, and Egypt who remained faithful to the Council of Chalcedon (451) when the greater part turned Monophysite. Melchite baptism, then is Catholic baptism although some of the ritual is different from the Latin Rite, the essentials are the same.

There is no such thing in Judaism.

In the Roman Catholic Church the answer is probably 'no' as RCs have strict rules about such things. However, being baptised is being baptised a Christian rather than a member of a particular denomination. In the Anglican Church, for example (Episcopalian in the US) , a baptism of a child of parents who aren't not married is possible at the discretion of the priest. This is allowed as the child is the central concern of the sacrament rather than the parents. However, there will usually be some constraints. For example, it might be necessary for the parents to undergo a Christian nurture course so that they understand just what baptism is about, they may have to make a commitment to get married at a future date, or, most likely, the priest might insist that at least two (if not more) of the Godparents are married and are practising Christians, as it is the responsibility of the Godparents (rather than exclusively the parents) to ensure that the child is brought up with Christian principles and beliefs. Consequently, if you are a Catholic and your priest refuses baptism, then you might find that, as baptism is a Christian sacrament rather than a denominational ceremony, a minister in another denomination will perform the baptism for you. Just go along to the church and ask. For many Protestants this is a non-issue. They do not teach or practice infant baptism, as there is no biblical precedent for it.
