HISTORY OF BAPTISM
THE HISTORY OF BAPTISM CAN BE TRACED FROM
THE OLD TESTAMENT. AND ACCORDING TO PETER,

FLOOD SYMBOLIZES BAPTISM SAVES YOU, WATER
AS THE EXTERNAL SYMBOL FOR INTERNAL
CLEASING.

MATTER AND FORM

Natural water that is poured or sprinkled
on a person, or in which a person is
immersed, is the matter. The pronouncing
of the words is the form namely: "I baptize
you in the name of the Father, and of the
Son, and of the Holy Spirit."

encountering requests for childrens

MINISTER OF BAPTISM
ORDINARY MINISTER
EXTRAORDINARY MINISTER

ORDINARY MINISTERS
The Bishop - said to be ordinary ministers because they are the successors of the
Apostles who received directly the Divine command: "Go and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit

The Priest - also ordinary ministers because by their office and sacred
orders they are pastors of souls and administrators of the sacraments, and hence
the Florentine decree declares: "The minister of this Sacrament is the priest, to
whom it belongs to administer baptism by reason of his office."

EXTRAORDINARY
MINISTERS

The Deacon - are only extraordinary ministers of solemn baptism, as by their

office they are assistants to the priestly order. St. Isidore of Seville says: "It is
plain that baptism is to be conferred by priests only, and it is not lawful even
for deacons to administer it without permission of the bishop or priest.
Anyone (Any Christian) - Baptism can be administered lawfully and validly by
any person whatsoever who observes the essential conditions. The
essential conditions are that the person pour water upon the one to be baptized, at
the same time pronouncing the words: "I baptize thee in the name of the Father and
of the Son and of the Holy Ghost." Moreover, he must thereby intend really to
baptize the person, or technically.
