Having the intention to do what the Church does is manifested when one does what the Church does.

The Church baptizes by the minister of the sacrament pouring water on the head of the person being baptized whilst the minister recites the form of baptism.

If a person baptizes this way he manifests his intention to do what the Church does.

Quote from: Catholic Martyr

He believes the Church, he hates his sins, is fully repentent, but at the baptismal font, he gets cold feet; he feels himself to be too addicted to grave sin and he can't bear to be baptized, because he would rather go to hell as a pagan than as an unfaithful Christian.

The (psychotic, apparently) priest holds him at gunpoint and baptizes him anyway. Is he justified? Why or why not?

will think on this, but in meantime, it better be water ALONE....BoD is the devil, BoB is evillllll........... :devil2:

Yes, let's start a baptism thread about baptism problems of today. Catholic Martyr, leave BoD out of this one please!

BoD is the point I was leading into Mike.

then why not just ask it, rather than give a highly unlikely scenario?? Lets go down that BoD road again (remind me, would this be 12 or 13th time??)
