THE DECISION
The priest says to the parents and godparents:
Those who are brought to be baptised must affirm through their sponsors their allgience to Christ and their rejection of all that is evil. Therefore I ask,
Do you turn to Christ?
I do.
Do you then renounce the Devil and all his works?
I do.
Will you obey and serve Christ?
I will, by God's help.
AT THE FONT
Water shall now be poured into the font, then the priest shall say:
We give you thanks, almighty Father, everlasting God through your most dearly beloved Son, Jesus Christ our Lord;
Because by his death and resurrection you have broken the power of evil, and by your sending of the Spirit you have made us partakers of eternal life;
We ask you to bless this water, that he who is to be baptised in it may be born again in Christ; that being baptised into Christ's death he may receive forgiveness of sins, and that knowing the power of Christ's resurrection he may walk in newness of life;
And grant that being cleansed by the washing of regeneration and renewed by the Holy Spirit, he may so faithfully serve you in this world that finally with all your people he may inherit the kingdom of your glory;
Through the same your Son Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom with you and the Holy Spirit be all honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

EXPLAINING AWAY MARK 16:16
Faith only believer want Mark 16:16 to just go away. It will not go away, so they try to explain it away. Over 100 translations of the Bible include Mark 16:16, however, that does not deter some faith only believers from insinuating or simply stating that Mark 16:16 should not be including in the Bible because it was missing from a couple of manuscripts. If you believe God has a hand in guiding men to translate the Bible correctly, then have to believe Mark 16:16 should be included. If you do not believe the Bible has been translated accurately, then I would suggest that you burn all of your Bibles.
EXPLAINING AWAY
Mark 16:16 He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned.
The most popular way of explaining away Mark 16:16 is to say that it does not say, that he who has not been baptized will be condemned, therefore water baptism is not essential to be saved.
If a secular law were written as such: He who does not commit robbery and does not murder will not go to prison; but he who commits robbery will go to jail. Would that mean you can still murder and not go to jail; because it does not state murderers will go to jail? NOT MURDERING IS ESSENTIAL TO NOT GOING TO JAIL!
Being baptized is essential to not being condemned.
There have been many attempts to explain water baptism away from Mark 16:16, including denying that, and, is a conjunction linking belief and baptism. Many attempts at distorting the simple meaning of words and sentence structure are used. Grammatical distortions are used in order to make Mark 16:16 fit the "faith only" narrative.
HAS BEEN BAPTIZED SHALL BE SAVED, STILL MEANS WATER BAPTISM IS ESSENTIAL FOR SALVATION NO MATTER HOW MEN TRY TO EXPLAIN IT AWAY.
