Author Topic: Should I let daughter get baptized by Baptist group? (Read 1222 times)

I have raised my children Catholic and they were both baptized Catholic. I allowed my daughter to attend a retreat with her friends with a Baptist church. She is asking me if it is ok for her to be baptized before they leave the retreat. I don't think she wants to convert, I think she is trying to be closer to our Lord and feels this will allow her to cleanse her past and start anew. Even though she can do this through confession. If I allow her to do this, will the church frown upon it?

I sincerely and respectfully ask if you are a troll. If not, I respond the Church does and has always frowned on such things as you put her soul in peril. Also it is a sacrilege to get Baptized twice.

I believe it would be a sacrilege to repeat baptism so no you shouldn't let her do it. I also think you shouldn't have let her go to a Baptist retreat because that involves her in a false religion.

He DEFINITELY should not let her go. The true Popes repeatedly warned against this. What do they meditate on, how to feel good about themselves? How thankful they should be for being saved?

Why is she going to a Baptist retreat in the first place?. It is beyond foolish to expose your daughter to heretics at such an impressionable age, and no, she cannot be baptized there because baptizing twice is a great sacrilege. The only people your daughter should be exposed to are practicing Catholics. It is your duty as a Catholic parent to provide the atmosphere where your daughter's Faith is not endangered in any way, and where she can make good Catholic friends, perhaps find a pious Catholic husband, and above all, preserve the Roman Catholic Faith.

I'm sorry but based on this OP, it does not sound like you raised your children Catholic.

What the OP described is fairly common practice among Novus Ordites. If they even bothered to ask the priest ahead of time, it's likely the priest would have approved.

Conciliardom waters down and sugar-coats associating with heretics to the point that people think such as this is acceptable. I urge you to seek out a true Catholic chapel and traditional priest and learn your faith better. Your daughter should not be that close to heretical "friends;" your daughter should not have attended an heretical retreat; your daughter should not be baptized or re-baptized by heretics (but she probably should be conditionally baptized by a traditional priest if you've had fast & loose Novus Ordo "priests" who condone such as the heretical retreat).

Credobaptism is Calvinist/Reformed nonsense, OP.

To define: "credobaptism" is the frivolous idea in Protestant, usually 90% of the time Baptist/Reformed/Mormon circles, that you should baptize when they "dedicate their lives" and actually believe instead of as infants.

The reason I call myself RC53 in the short.

I was originally Baptized in the Methodist Religion in 1950. They use the
correct valid formula, "I baptize thee in the name of the Father, the Son,
and the Holy Ghost".
I was conditionally Baptized in the Catholic Religion three years latter.
It was because if there was a defect in my previous Baptism. The
minister had no intentions of Baptizing me in the Catholic Church.
I am surprised that the Baptists have Baptism.
A Protestant Religion, many do not have Baptism. If they do. It is
latter in life and the formula has been changed to make it politically
correct and the nouns neutered. This would not be a valid baptism.
I say avoid Protestant Baptisms and participating in their services.
Matter of a fact, Protestants do no use the word Baptism, they use the
word Christening. Many Protestants do not believe in Original sin.
You can be the minister of Baptism or your Catholic relative or
friend can administer the Baptism, If no Priest is available.
Make sure you tell the Priest when he becomes available that you had
your child baptized. This sacrament cannot be repeated. He will do a
conditional Baptism.
If I am wrong in the last paragraph, please correct me.
