baptism

At the moment of death, or when there is urgency because of imminent danger of death, the minister omitting all other ceremonies, pours water (not necessarily blessed but real and natural water) on the head of the person to be baptized while saying:

N., I baptize you in the name of the Father, @

The minister pours water the first time.

and of the Son, @

The minister pours water the second time.

and of the Holy Spirit. @

The minister pours water the third time.

It is desirable that the minister, as far as possible, should use one or two witnesses.

A profession of faith—like the Apostles' Creed, p. 22—is made by the candidate before the Baptism is required for adults.
