Can I be baptized in the Catholic Church in the United States even though I am Catholic but Protestant Fiancee Wants You Abroad?
I wonder what the position of the Catholic Church as I am sure I will ask why I have to be baptized in a Catholic church (I am already baptized in a Protestant church). When I say it's my girlfriend to marry a Catholic, I believe the priest may roll their eyes. His church in the Philippines, may require me to be baptized into the Catholic faith.
- Europe and Mexico are Catholic. The United States is Protestant. Caucasians are also Muslims and Catholics. So what?
- I'm Catholic, but wants our son baptized Protestant Ex …?
- What is the difference between telling a Protestant bishop to repent and be baptized Catholic and a One?
- Why do the United States does not have enough priests and nuns, though many people are Catholic.
- Why do the United States does not have enough priests and nuns, if many people are Catholic.
The Catholic Church recognizes baptisms from other churches. Baptism is baptism, and only get it once. That is the policy of the Vatican City, Philippines, and if he wants something more than it is offline.
If you are interested in becoming Catholic, will have to take a class (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) and confirmed in the Catholic Church. But I advise you to do so only if you're serious about becoming a Catholic, not only because his girlfriend wants you. If you are not serious about becoming a Catholic, you can still marry her but she has to agree to raise the children Catholic. Take the class (RCIA) even if you do not want to become Catholic. (You are welcome to take a free class, regardless of their intentions.) At least then we will have a better idea of what you are doing when they posed to children in the church. Protestants in the U.S. eat a lot of misinformation about the Catholic Church.
If you were baptized in a Protestant church of the Catholic Church does not need to be renamed and, indeed, I do not believe that you baptize. There are, I believe, but a conditional baptism is usually done if the baptism was done by a layman (usually in an emergency). Besides, the majority of Christian churches accept other church baptisms. The next step for Catholics is a confirmation of what would be a separate ceremony, even if they have been confirmed in another church. For a Catholic wedding, it is not necessary, but it could be what your mother-in-law-to-be are looking for.
do not become a Catholic because of a woman, or even truly understand what that means ..
I do not think you need to "re", but if you consult with a Catholic priest who can answer that for you. I have had family members with one of them is Catholic and other non-Catholics and non-baptized not get again, but still married in the Catholic Church.
Peace, love and blessings

If you have been baptized in water and in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, it is not necessary that you be baptized again. The Church recognizes that cathoilic baptism as being valid (many Protestant churches do not consider a Catholic baptism as valid).
There is no need for you to be a Catholic to marry a Catholic.
Even if you decide to become a Catholic, you will not need to be renamed. Paul said that there is a baptism.
Sure you can, but it will take a year, and was Catholic. Can not be named for any other reason. If the Church of the Philippines requires, not what the Vatican teaches into practice. All you have to do is raise the children Catholic.
All of the baptism with water according to the formula Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) is valid, regardless of where or who performs it. This is from the Catechism. I have no idea why the Catholic Church in the Philippines would require a re-baptism, unless he was not in the formula or not done with water.
Not that the priest shot eyes - was that really do nothing. He was only baptized once.
his Protestant baptism is acceptable and you are not required to be renamed. you may want talk with a Catholic priest in the area, that way you can explain to his girlfriend. if in the process of relationship you want to become Catholic again will have to go through RCIA classes the priest can go through this with you. if they are not willing to talk with a Catholic priest http://www.ewtn.com going to have a forum for Catholics to send answers your question and you answered by an expert. they will know about the situation in the Philippines and the requirements that exist. god bless.
Jesus said, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized shall be saved. "(Mark 16:15-16)
The Catholic Church believes that it can only be saved once and therefore should only be baptized once.
The Nicene Creed says: "We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins."
The Catholic Church recognizes the baptism of anyone (including you), who was baptized with water and the words, "[Name], I baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit."
With love in Christ.
I married into a Catholic church and the Catholic ceremony, and he baptized Episcopalian.
Therefore, be baptized in a Catholic church is not a requirement, at least in America. Only one is baptized.
I'm not even sure if that was a Catholic church rebaptize.
You should talk to the priest who will marry you.
We as Catholics believe in one baptism.
If you have been baptized in a mainstream Christian church (Mormon, JW or not), all you need do is submit your certificate of baptism.
Catholics are not married Catholcis all the time. No big deal.
No, there is only one baptism for the forgiveness of sin. If you wanted to convert to Catholicism (which I think is what she is really want you to do), would have to go through the RCIA classes at the church so that they could be received into full communion (being part of the Catholic Church ). The priest finally rolled his eyes, he will welcome you throughout the heart. Also make sure you understand what that entails the conversion. There's a lot of soul searching and this decision should not be taken lightly. Good luck and God bless you and your girlfriend. "
Free advise … not marry a filipino
I am sure that you want to learn about faith in the first place. I suggest you talk to a priest.
Whewwwwww ????????? brother?
You really need to think about all this stuff baptism.
What we are asking it to do well if they are not serious about God. If some joker is making a point, or play some silly games, go for it if you can get some priest to fall for it.
BUT
If you are serious about God, forget it, and get spiritual help. If you are serious about the girl and marry her just forget baptism. This is wrong, badly wrong.
