The COMMAND TO BAPTIZE:
|
Jesus
says: All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything
have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the
very end of the age. Matthew 28:18-20 NIV
|
P: The
word of God tells us that we have all been born with sin, so we are sinners.
For this reason God the Father sent Jesus to die on the cross, for all people.
When a person has been baptized and also believes in Jesus,
God forgives that person’s sin. He takes him away from the devil. He makes him
his friend. Then that person will live with God forever.
P: Who presents this person for Baptism?
Witnesses: We do.
P: Witnesses,
since you present name for holy baptism, continue to care for her/him. Set her
a good example and remember her/him in your prayers. Encourage her/her to come to
services in God’s house. Do you intend to do this? If so say “Yes, I do.”
Yes, We Do.
SIGN
OF THE CROSS:
P: I
put the sign of the cross on your forehead and on your heart. From today you
belong to Jesus.
Hear
the Good News
|
Jesus
says: I tell you the truth; no-one can see the kingdom of God without being
born again; no-one can enter the kingdom of God without born through water
and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to
spirit. John 3:3,5,6
|
P: Let us pray the prayer that Jesus taught
us.
LORD’S
PRAYER:
Our Father in
Heaven:
Hallowed be
your name, Your kingdom come,

done, on earth as in heaven.
Give us today
our daily bread,

sins as we forgive
those who sin
against us.

into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For the
kingdom, the power and the glory are yours, now and forever. Amen

now and forever.
Renunciation of the Devil
P: Do you renounce the devil?
Yes,
I renounce the devil and all his works and all his ways.
P: Join
with name in confessing the Christian faith
APOSTLES’
CREED:
I believe in
God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under
Pontius Pilot, was crucified, dead and buried.
He descended
into hell.
The third day
he rose again from the dead, He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right
hand of God the Father Almighty, from thence He will come the judge the living
and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy
Christian church,
the communion
of saints, the forgiveness of sins,
the
resurrection of the body and the life everlasting. Amen.
P: Do you want to be baptized?
Yes,
I do.
P: would you like to tell us about it.
