I know Reformed Christians who were raised Christian but not baptized until their late teens or early twenties - their feeling was that they shouldn't be baptized until they really experienced being born again.
If Bork belonged to such a denomination, and fell away from churchgoing as a young man, it's possible that he was never baptized.
It is a sign of the parent's and church community's adoption of the child into the faith.
The child is a member of the Body of Christ, not as an individual, but as a participant in the community of the Redeemed.
All baptisms of water in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are considered valid by the Catholic Church whether administered by the Catholics or not.
Almost right. The matter (water) form (the words said as the water is used by the person pouring the water, and the INTENT are all needed. This is why Mormon baptism is not accepted as valid by the Church, as their INTENT is not to do what the Church would do.
