  • You can be at any age. Contact your local church for details.
  • my own opinion,baptize is something we do as our sign of "reborn"..so it's not quite ok our parents do it on our account.. we baptize because we ourselves decide to be reborn and believe in God completely.. Remember,no pone is defferent in the eyes of God..BNaptized or not yet doesn't matter.. It's the determinations in your heart that count
  • Of course you can :) My mam was baptised, confirmed, and had her communion all on the same day. When she was in her twenties.
  • Jesus Himself was baptized as a full grown man in his late 20's early 30's? So I say why not aye.
  • You can be baptized at any age. I am an agnostic. When I was a 7 year old child, my Protestant parents worked in Africa and I was sent to the best school in the area - which was a Catholic school. For some strange reason I still remember this story told by a nun. A nanny visits a Cardinal in the Vatican who she nursed as a child. She tells the Cardinal that when he was a baby they thought he was going to die so she baptized him. (Any baptized person can baptize you in an emergency.) She grabbed a bottle of cologne and baptized him herself. The Cardinal was forced to go through all the Sacraments again because water was not used for the baptism. A fun story for kids to teach them the meaning and baptism process. I still remember all the words and what to do to perform an emergency baptism.
  • Yes of course, they would actally admire you for it. It wasn't your falt you weren't baptized as a child. I go to a Catholic church and like most faiths I am sure of, the people who converted to the faith are given a lot of respect then people who where raised Catholic and often 'run the mouth' and place Catholicism according to their personal belifs (No, offencse to cradal Catholics I am one I am refering to the evandical Catholics). You will do fine, call the Pairsh to set up an RCIA class and go to a socal event such as a church picnic or fair to meet someone you trust to be your sponor and God parents. Good Luck
  • Of course it is possible. How it will be made could depend on the particular local parish. Here an example: "At this time I have no intention of joining the Church but I do want to learn more about Catholicism. Is there a place for me in the adult initiaion process? Yes. We all learn from one another and from our journey to know God better. Please join us for the next Catholic Inquiry Session and we can discuss what path may be best for your continued journey. I know that I want to join the Catholic Church. Where do I begin? This depends on you and where you are on your faith journey. If you are fairly new to Catholicism or have limited experience with the Christian faith, you may still find it helpful to continue to explore Catholicism for a time before moving into the Catechumenate gathering. Each person's journey is unique and the adult initiaion Team will assist you in utilizing the process at St. Charles so that your journey is fruitful and fulfilling. Once I have decided to join the Catholic Church, why might it take a year or longer? That seems like a long time. When someone who is not baptized comes forward with an interest in joining the Catholic Church, that interest is then to be joined with knowledge about the Church's traditions and teachings, as well as a sufficient experience of the Catholic faith community. Joining the Catholic Church is not about passing a test on Catholicism; rather it is about learning and living the Gospel of Jesus in the context of the parish and wider Catholic community. This takes time and it is suggested that one preparing for baptism wishing to join the Church experience at least one full liturgical year of the Catholic faith community. Adult baptisms are celebrated each year at the Easter Vigil (the Saturday night before Easter Sunday), which occurs each year in the Spring. If one comes to the parish in December with a desire to be baptized and to join the Church, the following Easter would only be approximately 4 months away. This is not sufficient time for someone to experience the fullness of the Catholic faith Church and community." Source and further information: http://www.stcharleschurch.org/ministry/rcia.htm
  • +5. try baptist, we will dunk you and we have better music but you can't dance,drink or smoke
  • Be being baptised does not make you a Christian or get you to Heaven. Most churches use baptism as a way to join a church or religion, but that was not it's original purpose.
  • sure you can... in the past, people were baptized when they were old, so that they could make an informed and consentual decision about the thing.
