Emergency Baptism

Baptism performed by any Christian, not only a pastor, when death is near and no pastor can come. Water and the Trinitarian words are all that is required. The church has always held such a baptism to be fully valid and never to be repeated.

In Sacraments — Baptism, the Lord's Supper, confession, and the language around them.
