If you want to baptize yourself at home, you'll need to gather a few supplies. You'll need a bowl or sink of clean water, a white towel, and a Bible. You may also want to light a candle and say a prayer before you begin.
To start, undress and stand in the bowl or sink of water. If you're using a bowl, make sure it's big enough to completely submerge yourself in. Take a deep breath and say a prayer asking for forgiveness and guidance. Then, submerge yourself completely in the water.
When you come up out of the water, dry yourself off with the white towel. Open your Bible to a random page and read aloud from it. If you feel moved to, you can also say a prayer of thanksgiving.
Now, you are officially baptized! You can go about your life knowing that you have taken this significant step in your spiritual journey.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to prepare for a baptism?
Baptism preparation is important. There are a few things to do in order to make the process as smooth as possible: 1. Confirm all details, numbers, and locations involved. This will make sure that everything is ready on baptism day. 2. Have contingency plans in place should anything go wrong such as the church or clergy member not being available. This way, you won't have to worry about making a last minute decision.
How do you talk to a child about being baptized?
If you are baptized, we promise to love and care for you as Jesus would. Baptism is a special ceremony that marks your entrance into the church community and binds you together with other members. It is an opportunity to show our love for God and each other. We baptize infants or young children who have been shown by their parents or other members of the Church to be worthy of the change. When my son was baptized, I felt happiness and excitement. As a parent, it is yet another way I can help him grow in his faith. I know one day he will feel the same love for baptism that I do now.
Is self-baptism a valid baptism?
Traditional baptism is valid; Christ actually does the washing of a person's sins.
How do you perform a water baptism in the Bible?
IMPORTANT: In order to be baptized in water according to the Bible, you must plug your nose. Some Baptist churches practice baptizing people in the river instead of using baptismal fonts.
What should I say to someone who is getting baptized?
The best thing to say is "Thank you for choosing to be baptized." Tell the person your admiration and respect for him or her.
