Do you know the date of your baptism?

[Stella]

My mother always had a frame with our baptismal certificates up on the wall when we were kids. She also had plaques made for each of the grandchildren's baptism to be displayed. I have to my shame, neglected the tradition and am inspired today by Pope Francis to resurrect it.

I was baptized on the day I was born because I was born prematurely and was in poor health and there was a chance I wouldn't survive so I was given an emergency baptism a few hours later

I don't know the exact date but I believe it was in June of 1973

I think it was in September, I was maybe 8 years old, so early 70s

So I take you grew up Baptist?

At that time, my family was part of the Independent Christian Churches/Churches of Christ (Campbellites)

[Vern Humphrey]

I was baptized twice, once by my mother on the day I was born (Dec 2nd, 1941) and a couple of weeks later at the church (now Cathedral) of the Immaculate Conception in Lake Charles, LA.

What? Who allowed that? Unless there was something wrong with the first baptism it is an outrageous sacrilege to baptize again.

It was probably conditional. Normal for the era.

Or perhaps what's known as "completion of the rites" for an emergency baptism.
