– Is Baptism Necessary for Salvation?

– Can a father who is Catholic get his children baptized without the consent of the mother?

– Since baptism is not just a symbol, what exactly is God doing at baptism?

– Why does the Church accept baptisms in some protestant churches

– What is the Catholic view on sprinkling vs immersion, and also on the formula (in Jesus’ name vs the trinitarian formula)?

– I grew up Catholic and have been Catholic my whole life, but I don’t have any proof that I am baptized. Should I get baptized? I’m kind of worried that maybe I was never baptized.

– Was John the Baptist’s baptism from God or from man?

– My granddaughter is being raised in a non-denom church. They are going to let her choose to be baptized when she turns seven. Should I be worried about the state of her soul before she is baptized?
