Was My Baptism Invalid

[smichhertz]

I thought it was, but after doing some research, all it said was immersion or pouring without specifying where. Even immersion, some would immerse the body only, especially if the one being baptized is an infant.

What about all these sources? They seem to state clearly that it must be on the head for certain validity.

puzzleannie, you just repeated what Aramis said

he implied most emergency baptisms are redone as conditional baptisms as a matter of course and it simply is not true, only in the very rare instance where there is no evidence or witness whatever to the original baptism.

That is what he said, that conditional baptisms are done UNLESS there are witnesses.

Ah so there are cases where validity remains uncertain. I guess because there is no biblical example of Christ instituting the sacrament in that way?

The doubt can be due to the water not flowing on the head.
