My best friend is catholic and her husband is seveth day adventist she to was having this dillema I told her to do both. God is a loving God. Just Pray!!!

NO I Actually went to Burlington Coat Factory and found a section for christianing dresses. They have some for boys and some other things catholics use that we don't. It has everything so whatever you decide I would go and check it out

Hey I got the cutest dress for my little girls dedication at church and saved abundle that same dress through the inter net was like 200.00. I paid like 25% of that. I am so happy. My first child I had it brought from Puerto Rico and tried to do the same for this one , but it was to expensive. I am so excited for her dedication. My husband and I are starting to plan it and the baby is not even here.

What a good question you have. I am a Catholic and my husband is not, but does attend my church. My son was baptized Catholic at 3 months, much to my Mom's dismay. She had all four of us baptized ASAP (within a couple of weeks). She ended up bringing holy water into my hospital room and putting the sign of the cross on his forehead before we left. She said that would have to do until I had the official ceremony. We wanted to wait for the christening until my DH's family came in from England. I think there is nothing wrong with having two christening's. How great it is for your baby to have two such loving families! Congrat's on your pregnancy and BTW, love your Saint's jersey's!!

HI there, I just read your question about baptism and I wanted to share with you a similiar situation. My brother was in the same position some time ago and both he and his wife decided to do both baptisms. My newphew is now 13 and I think its was the greatest choice to have made because it has given him a great sense of awareness of what religion is all about - and of the faith that his parents both have. He chose to be batised in his mothers church for his 13th birthday this year. Good Luck!

Religion is tough. I am catholic also and married to a Southern Baptist. This is my second marriage, my first husband was also Catholic, our 14 daughter is being raised Catholic, although I no longer attend mass. I'm struggling too with whether or not to have this baby christened in the Catholic church, or not. My family is Catholic but C & E (Christmas & Easter) Catholics, so I don't have the pressure from them, not yet anyway. I think it's cool that children get a taste of all religions and ideas and let them make up their minds, also helps them not be prejudice.

Hey Maya! Christening the baby isn't a bad idea if it means a lot to your hubby and his family. Your child can grow up learning both religions and what they entail. It should go both ways. Your hubby should also do things that are important to you and your family. Your child experiencing that people worship God in different ways is a beautiful thing.

One more thing I am very open about other religions and I have attended the catholica church several times. I did ask my husband to let our daughter to make the decision if she wanted to get baptized in the future . Well we took her to both churches and presented her through the ceremony in the Seventh day Adventist church. Compromise !!! God is not going to punish you for that. Do what you think is right

well we had some very difficult moments b/c of the difference of religion. We were even seperated at one time b/c even though I did not push into anything I did accept his drinking habits. One day I gave up and decided I could not control anything. I started praying. Things started to get better. He started to go to church on his own in Massachusetts while I was in Georgia. One saturday afternoon I was sitting in my parents house in the living room and he called and said' Ijust got baptized and things are going to be different.' He moved back here in august I was still going to school full time and caring for my daughter while my mother was helping me. We decided to try again. His drinking dissapeared completly. I never obligated him to do anything he did not want to but I never cheered him either. The reason I stayed in church initially was when I found out I was pregant with my first child. I wanted what was best for her and the best thing I could give her was a direction towards God. Your spouse needs to make the decision on his own, but he needs encouragement ( not force) . Pray their is a book called when the wife prays or when a women prays. Pray for him, but pray more for your character towards him and what you need to become a better partner.

I'M PREGNANT!

hey there, here's a suggestion - why don't you have a 'baby dedication service'at a favourite spot - either someone's home garden or at a close friends house (somewhere with room) You can recite a poem to your baby and your husband can also say a few words over your little one. THen open up the floor to your family members and allow certain people(ones you've already asked previously) to come forward and say a few words. In that way all who love the baby can say a blessing in their own way.

I disagree with the others that you should do what your hubby wants. This isn't the freaking ice ages and I'm not impressed by how hard it is to be a Catholic later. If your the one that attends Church then most likely your baby will be attending with you. I would suggest either raising him in the religion he's actually going to be raised in or waiting until he's old enough to decide. My husband is Buddhist and I'm an episcapalian and we try and expose our children to BOTH religions and respect Both religions in our home. They will be baptised Epsicopalian but they are also taught how to worship in the Buddhist temples. Anyhow I know it's a tough decision so I wish you luck. Take Care!

Hey I am also seventh day adventist, but you have to remember that it is your husband child as well try to compromise and the most important thing of all is that God plays an important role in this baby's life. My husband was catholic when my first daughter was born I never pushed him just asked him to come with me to church so i did not have to go alone. He is seventh day adventist himself now.

Did another hpt this morning! it was still faint! think it may have been an evap line! going to get a digital test later today to see whats going on!

Hey, I'm a born-again Christian, but not 7th Day Adventist. I believe the same as you about baptism and baby dedications. I would just advise you to pray a lot about it. You know in your heart what's right and if you pray that God's will be done, God will most likely allow for a change of mind on your hubby's part. Praying for God's will always gets God's will accomplished. Best wishes to you!

My granddaughter's name is Maya, and we call her Maya The Bee! Funny thing is, that was her mommy Stephanie's favorite cartoon when she was little. Maya is nearly two, and she's adorable. So are you!

Congrats On your pregnancy! =] How are you doing?

shellbz - Thursday, 16 Aug
I don't see what the difference is if you baptise him in a catholic church then present him to god in your church, I think doing both would be a wonderful way for the two of you to share your faiths with this baby. After all he/she is a miraculous gift from god to begin with. Good Luck to you both and Congratulations.

Traditionally It's usually the mother's religion that is passed down to the childeren. Because she's usually the one rearing the childeren in the early years.I'm sure his family, especially being Catholic, will understand tradition and hopefully follow the wishes of your own little family (you, hubby,&baby)

Hi, my dad was a non-practicing catholic and my mom was non-denomination. Because of my dad's family, I was baptized in a catholic church as a baby. When I was old enough, I made the decision to be baptized again in my mom's church. I don't think God will punish me or my family for being baptized twice.

Could you show your husband from SCRIPTURE, that those who get babtised are doing it of their own free will?? He would see from the Bible that WE choose Christ which an infant cannot do. Ask him to show you from SCRIPTURE, where do people 'baptise' a baby?? Instead maybe you could 'dedicate' the baby since that's what is done in the Bible & make that the very special event that it is. Commiting befor God to raise your child according to His Word, & His ways. The Bible says NOT to be 'men pleasers' Eph. 6:6 or to 'follow vain traditions of men' col. 2:8 Don't do it for traditions sake, Isn't it more important to please God than man?

I was baptised when I was two months old. (I'm lutheran) The way I see it was, at 2 months my parents promised to God that they would raise me to know God. At 13, I made the vow myself. (confirmation) Maybe you could view the first bapitism in the catholic setting as you promising to teach your child about God, and then when they are of age you can go to your church and they can baptise themselves? (It might make both sides happy.) ^.^

Dont let the tradition of the family get in the way of what you want to do for your baby. If both you and your hubby believe the same thing then thats what you should do and family should respect that.
