Hello, I am currently in a Muslim country. Not baptized. How do I have to perform the baptism? Can I take a big bottle of water and let my dad pour it over my head? Because I will not get a normal baptism here. Please help, also state your denomination and bible passages if there are any about this topic.

You cannot do it yourself unfortunately. You must have a priest do it and if you reside in the middle east then it shouldn't be overly difficult to find an Orthodox priest to do it for you (I am Orthodox myself). If you must, save up and travel to another country to get it done. Much of what is done in the Orthodox church is based on tradition, but the baptism itself is an ancient rite. I would read through the entire book of Acts if I were you, it gives pretty good accounts of baptisms.

The traditions of the Church generally suggest that any baptized person can baptize in an emergency. An emergency here would be in danger of death (ie, from disease or war or wound, etc.), which would NOT be true in your case.

The best case for you may be to reach out to a priest in a nearby country and do a brief course of catechism (instruction) remotely, and then either visit him or have him visit you for the baptism. Most clerics would be willing to make a special effort to visit such a person, and consider it a joy rather than a burden.

A church building is not necessary for baptism (indeed, baptism is still sometimes done in rivers). If you find a priest willing to come to you, even five minutes with three cups of water in a bathtub would be perfectly valid.

Just find a christ follower to baptise you, if impossible, just pray , use the bowl of water and ask for the presence of the holy spirit. Worst case find another christ follower later and do it again to reaffirm.

This is the Al-Maghtas baptism site on the Jordanian side of the river across from the more touristily popular Israeli side where Jesus is believed to have been immersed. The practice of immersion is believed to have been derived from the Jewish custom of mikveh bathing.

As some others have previously stated there are emergency permissions for baptism. The Orthodox seem to follow the most complete set of rules regarding it.

May God bless you for your faith and desire to follow Him in Baptism! You will be walking in the footsteps of Jesus, who was also baptized.

> must have a priest to perform baptism

Really? I thought any baptized person could baptise another and it's valid as long as it's in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit? The Orthos and Baptist only consider full body immersion but I don't think anyone would consider your baptism invalid if it were done by another Christian who wasn't in a position of authority.

I mean, Constantine was baptized by an Arian. Is that a valid baptism?

The Catholic Catechism on this matter:

>1256 The ordinary ministers of Baptism are the bishop and priest and, in the Latin Church, also the deacon. In case of necessity, anyone, even a non-baptized person, with the required intention, can baptize, by using the Trinitarian baptismal formula. The intention required is to will to do what the Church does when she baptizes. The Church finds the reason for this possibility in the universal saving will of God and the necessity of Baptism for salvation.

Well, technically, any baptised Christian can perform short ritual of incomplete baptism in urgent situation as far as I know (i'm orthodox too) but it must be finished by priest when it becomes available.
