==Attention tag== 
 I have added the attention tag because as it stands this article is a jumbled mess.  There was a strong attempt to combine Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican, Lutheran and Methodist practices into a single section.  While the theology behind baptism in these cases are similar in many ways, they are sufficiently different  and the practices are so widely at variance  that it has resulted a completely misleading and useless section.  Nearly every sentence has to be qualified, and where they are not they are very often simply inaccurate, with the practices peculiar to one group claimed for all the others.  Perhaps following a brief introduction to the section summarizing where they are the same, each group needs to be treated seperately in its own subsection. ''''
