I was recently recieved into the Church this past Easter.I was originally baptised in the lutheran church.I was wondering if this is valid.I have the booklet that was used for my baptism ,it is called Order of Baptism of Infants.It uses the trinitarian formula ,Name ,I Baptize thee:In the Name of the Father, and of the son, and and of the Holy Ghost.Amen.That is exactly what is says.But it has a bunch of other prayers and stuff before the actual baptism,does this invalidate the baptism.Also how do I know for certain that the minister was intending to do what the church intend in baptism,isnt that a requirment for it to be valid?Another thing my God parents at the tme were not lutheran but they were allowed to be my God parents anyways does that have any effect on my baptism?
Code:
The reason I ask is because I heard of this thing called conditional baptism and was wondering why I did not have this done or wht the preist at my church didnt do this when I was recieved into the church.I was 3 years old at the time I was baptized so I wasnt exactly an infant but still to young to remember it,I wish I could then I could answer all these questions myself. :) Sometimes I worried that I am not baptized or should have had conditional baptism done just in case. :( Anyways any help would be great!
God bless you and Mary keep you!
 
Dear P,

You are validly baptized. The Catholic Church recongnizes as valid most Protestant baptisms, including those in the Lutheran church. You do not need to be conditionally baptized.

Fr. Vincent Serpa, O.P.
