I'm fourteen and want to be christened what happens?

Question

like in the service and stuff my mum and dad are completely fine with it as my 5 other siblings got christened when they where babies and i did not.

Answer 1

Do you mean baptized?

Answer 2

You want to be christian?

Go for it, you dont have to go to church or attend a christian church to be christian. Praying to God and spending time with him, and ofcourse, accepting him as your savior is what really makes you a christian :)

Answer 3

Well, don't do it just because you feel left out. Do it because it is your decision to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior... and because you are choosing to live your life for Him.

What religion is this, exactly? Just out of curiosity. I'm not as familiar with christening, so I'm guessing it's a lot like baptism.

edit:// I'm sorry if I offended you. I really didn't mean to, I was just not familiar with the religion. Congratulations on your decision! I really am happy for you=) It's not every day on y!a that you hear from people who are deciding to follow Christ.

Answer 4

Omg!! That is so cool that you believe in God even though your parents don't. And also do you mean baptized if so all they do is dunk you enter the water for like three seconds its not bad at all:) Also you can go to your local church and tell them that you want o learn more about being a christian and they will help you out also,they will give you a bible since your parents probably want buy you one but you can also spend the night with a friend on saturday and go to church with her on sundays.I am sure that your friend would be more than happy to help you out. God is always there for you believe me even if yu have to wait until your grown to get baptized all that matters is that God loves you know matter what. So even if your parents wont let you get baptized just wait till you get grown. Just say your prayers and ask God to help your parents to believe in him God will keep you safe:) So teach your parents about to God. Remember this too Jesus diedc for you:)

Good luck I will pray for you:)

Answer 5

Well it depends on what denomination your church is with. With the baptist churches as well as more evangelical churches they do emmersion - which means they emmerse you in a pool of water (baptismal tank) and before this you read your testimony of your faith for jesus..

In other denominations you can be sprinkled - Anglican and some more less forward thinking denominations. I don't think you read a testimony in this type of baptism.

I was baptised when I was 12. It was the most amazing experiance of my life. My friends were there supporting me. And my church and my mom and dad were a bit hesitant didn't think I was ready but it turned out to be probably the best day of my life.

But its not easy after that. I'm been making so many mistakes even now. Its really only the beginning

I'm delighted to find you have a faith you want to espress

god bless you
