What is the difference between receiving the Holy spirit at baptism Vs confirmation?
In baptism a person receives God's clensing of the original sin of Adam and Eve it is the first step in making heaven possible for an individual whether they are conscious of the act or not. Confirmation is usually done at a later age when a person has the capacity to reflect and comprehend the Holy Spirit's role in their life. It is the Spiritual maturity of a person.

Do Methodists believe in infant baptism?
Yes, Congregationalists practice infant baptism.
AnswerI'm not sure what Congregationalists are, but the Bible never mentions infant baptism. The only baptism in the Bible is full water submersion as a consentual adult. CODICILE: Full water baptism is never mentioned either...mainly because the VOLUME of water used is unimportant. Infant baptism is hinted at when (I believe) Cornelius is baptised "along with his whole family." On might assume there was a baby tucked in there somewhere. These doctrinal issues are so unimportant to the core fundamental issues: Do you believe you are a sinner? Do you repent? Do you have enough humility to realize that man could NEVER connect with God? ...that God had to make the connection by coming Himself in the flesh as Jesus Christ? If 'yes' then "today you will be with Him in paradise."

What was Jesus baptism a sign of?
The gospels tell us that John the Baptist baptised for the remission of sins, but we are also told that Jesus was untouched by sin. His baptism symbolised something more. It demonstrated for readers of the gospels that Jesus was the Son of God. The baptism of Jesus was the occasion on which the voice of God from heaven dramatically announced Jesus as his beloved son. In Mark's Gospel, where the story first appeared, the baptism was linked to other events, adding emphasis to this claim.
Mark wanted to demonstrate unequivocally that Jesus really is the Son of God and also associate him with Elijah and Moses. Immediately after his baptism, Jesus went into the wilderness for forty days, ministered by angels (Mark 1:13) just as Elijah was ministered by an angel and in the wilderness forty days (1 Kings 19:5-7). There is no actual suggestion in Mark that Jesus fasted for this time, but those familiar with the story of Elijah are likely to have assumed he did do so. This brings into play another allusion, to Moses when (Exodus 34:28) he fasted for 40 days while he wrote the words of the Ten Commandments on tablets. Finally, the baptism, the voice of God from heaven and the forty days in the wilderness (events B, C and D) are linked through the framework, parallel structure of Mark's Gospel to the Transfiguration, in which the disciples saw Jesus talking to Elijah and Moses, as only one who is divine could do(events B', C' and D') :A . John explains the coming of Jesus (Mark 1:1-8)

W' .Jesus dies and on the third day rises again (15:37, 16:6)
A' .The young man explains the departure of Jesus(16:6-8)
The use of a parallel structure in this way emphasises the meaning of the baptism and the voice of God, telling us on both occasions that Jesus is the Son of God and was intended to leave readers in no doubt about this.

A:
John the Baptist is known from the writings of the first-century Jewish historian, Josephus. He was a Jew who preached and promoted the concept of baptism, although perhaps not the first to do so. He was clearly very popular throughout Palestine, as Josephus wrote that Herod Antipas, ruler of Galilee, feared the great influence John had over the masses, who seemed ready to do anything he advised. When John publicly criticised Herod's marriage in 34 CE to his own brother's former wife, Herod had him arrested and executed in faraway Macherus. The execution took place before King Antipas of Nabatea attacked and defeated Herod in 36 CE, an event which the Jews believed was divine retribution for the execution of John the Baptist, so the execution was still fresh in their minds.
Luke's Gospel says that his mother was called Elizabeth, a cousin of Mary, and his father was Zachariah, although Uta Ranke-Heinemann (Putting Away Childish Things) believes that both Elizabeth and Zachariah were literary creations by the gospel author, meant to create a family relationship between John and Jesus. The gospels say that John baptised for the remission of sins, although Josephus says otherwise. They say that he heralded the coming of Jesus, one greater than he. That being the case, there was no more work for John to do and so the synoptic gospels bring forward his death to around 29 CE, at the very beginning of Jesus' mission, adding the elaboration of Herodias' daughter dancing for John's head on a platter.

Why do they cover the babys head with a white cloth in a baptism?
Babies wear white for Baptism because the Sacrament of Baptism cleanses the soul from Original Sin and so the person baptized is spotlessly pure in the eyes of God until they commit their first post-Baptismal sin. White is the symbol of purity, so the baptized wear white garments for Baptism.
What happens during a believers baptism?
Believer's baptism (occasionally called credobaptism) is theChristian practice of baptism as this is understood by many Protestant churches, especially those that descend from the Anabaptist tradition. An adult or teenager is baptized in response to his or her personal conviction (decision to follow Jesus Christ) and as admission into a local community of faith. It may be contrasted to infant baptism (pedobaptism or paedobaptism, from the Greek paido meaning "child"), in which young children are baptized. Such baptisms are performed in various manners: baptism by immersion is more common than by aspersion.

How do Pentecostal baptisms differ from Catholic baptisms?
The trinitarian baptism is given in the ritual acclamation of, "I baptise you in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit."
In my research on the Internet I have seen two different approaches to the Pentecostal baptism, first "...in the name of Jesus" and second, "in the Holy Spirit".
In Pentecostal churches water baptism signifies that you are forgiven of your sins and are now a member of the church. It is done in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in Trinitarian Pentecostal churches and in the name of Jesusin Oneness Pentecostal churches.
Water baptism in Catholic churches is by pouring or immersion, in Pentecostal churches it is only by immersion. Water baptism in Catholic churches is usually done on infants as soon as possible after birth although adults that are newly catechized converts are also baptized, in Pentecostal churches it is only done on adults that are able to give a testimony of their being "born again".
Baptism in the Holy Spirit is an entirely different ceremony (it does not involve water at all, in some churches it will involve anointing with oil). Baptism in the Holy Spirit is done by the laying on of hands by the church leaders and prayers, it is then expected that the person being baptized in the Spirit will manifest the Spirit, usually by speaking in tongues. This baptism is generally unique to Pentecostal churches, although some other churches are also doing it now
.
Catholic AnswerA Catholic baptism is a sacrament that actually brings about what it signifies, it truly removes sins and makes one a child of God - by the power of God. A Pentecostal baptism that is done with water in the name of the Trinity and attempting to do what the Church does also is a valid baptism. Anything else called "baptism" is just an outward ceremony that is ineffective according to the Church.Getting baptized is an outward sign to the world that you have changed your ways to a christian way , and you keep living a good life. it also means that later in your life, you are able to get confirmed which means you are fully accepted with God.
What is the form and the matter in baptism?
The form of the Sacrament of Baptism is both visual and spiritual. The visible part is when the Priest Blesses you with Holy Water and the spiritual part is that you are accepted as a child of God.
~D.J.B.~
To be in line with the Scriptures, the baptism must be done in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This triune formulation can be considered the form of the baptism.
And as a note -It's not just Roman Catholic priests who do baptisms. In Protestant churches Pastors baptize people, and the baptism is valid, done in the correct form.
Also, in order to meet the approval of Scripture teaching for baptism requires that the whole body is submerged in the water, not merely a sprinkling or splashing and it is not necessary that the water be considered "holy" water. There is no special designation of any "holy" water for Biblical Christians.
Why is a candle a symbol of baptism?
for a new life in christ
It is not the candle that is the symbol but the light that it gives off. This light represents the Light of Christ. A Knowledge of Christ if you like. Remember the Lords said do not hide your light under a bushel, but let it so shine so that others might see that you are a believer in Christ. (Paraphrased).
and this is because baptism is usually held in a sboo
What sacrament does not need a priest to give the sacrament?
There are actually two sacraments which don't require a priest: The first is Baptism. Any person (even a non-Catholic) can baptise a person as long as they follow the requirements for it to be valid (ie, pure and natural water, say the right words, have the right intention). The second is Marriage: While the Church strongly encourages Catholics to marry in the presence of a priest (and to have a wedding Mass, if both prospective spouses are Catholic), strictly speaking, a priest is not needed. The "ministers" of the sacrament are the couple who are marrying. Answer: I strongly disagree to the above answer. Both the sacraments mentioned above need to be administered by a priest (or a deacon), but not by any lay person in the Roman Catholic faith. A Deacon can administer the sacraments of Baptism, Matrimony and Anointing of the Sick. For the rest of the four sacraments (Communion, Confirmation, Confession and Holy Orders) you need compulsarily a priest or a Bishop
Not really, although some Greek Orthodox accept them by 'economia' which means by dispensation or by making an exception to the rule. However, many Orthodox do not regard a Catholic baptism as valid, because Roman Catholics no longer baptize; they now sprinkle with water.
The word baptize comes from the Greek word 'baptizma' which means to immerse and completely cover in water. Sprinkling with water is called 'aspersion', but it is not the same as a baptism.
An Orthodox baptism is recognized by all Catholics, but Catholic baptisms are not recognized by all Orthodox.
Baptism by triple immersion has been the tradition of the Orthodox Church for the last 2,000 years, but the Roman Catholics stopped performing baptisms in 1545 when the Council of Trent made aspersion the official position.

Where did baptism get its name?
Baptize means to be surrounded or completely covered. John the Baptist baptized Jesus of Nazareth according to the Bible.
