InHisLove726 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 (edited) I would ask your parish priest or the nun running the RCIA program what would be done in this instance. As long as your sister immersed or poured water over your head and used the Trinitarian formula: [quote]"I baptize you in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit."[/quote] then, the baptism is valid. You would need to request certification through your diocese, most likely. If you cannot obtain certification, then you will probably go through a [i]conditional baptism due to lack of evidence[/i]. Also, since you have already been baptized, you would do well to receive the Sacrament of Penance before receiving Holy Communion in the event that you committed a mortal sin so you don't receive sacrilegiously.

Guest Jon Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Would it be rude to ask how old you are? 120 reads and only one response?? Let's talk a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first response is your best course of action, that and talk to your priest before hand and explain the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zunshynn Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Explain the situation to them, and they'll figure out what the best course of action is. They might have you conditionally baptized if they're not sure... but definitely explain the situation to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been a fan of living in fear of mortal sin... we should definitely be aware of grave sins and do everything we can to avoid them, but in the process, we should look up to heavenly things and make sure we are living for God, not simply against evil. I know none of this is new, but reminders are always helpful. I appreciate it when I get down on sin and junk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
