 The Mormon baptismal rite is conducted as follows:

 

1. A holder of the priesthood goes into the water with the person to be baptized.
2. The person performing the baptism calls the person being baptized by name.  If the person is undergoing proxy baptism in behalf of a dead person, the person performing the baptism adds the words, “for and in behalf of [Name], who is dead.”
3. The priesthood holder then pronounces the baptismal prayer: “Having been commissioned of Jesus Christ, I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.” (See Doctrine and Covenants 20:73).
4. When the baptismal prayer is completed, the person being baptized is immersed completely in the water.

Thanks, Elsie.

Note: The statement "Having been commissioned of Jesus Christ" claim has no authority for ANY ordinances that bind God or Jesus, since it all came from the fiction of the mormon doctrine.
