Baptize in Living Water Faithfully
Open in the reader →1Concerning baptism, baptize in this way: Having first said all these things, baptize into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit in living water.
2But if you do not have living water, baptize in other water; and if you cannot in cold, then in warm.
3But if you do not have either, pour water on the head three times in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
4But before the baptism, let the one baptizing and the one being baptized fast beforehand, and any others who are able; and you shall command the one being baptized to fast one or two days beforehand.
