-'''Catholic Baptism'''
-The papacy says a sacrament must contain three elements to be valid:
-# the correct form;
-# the correct matter; and
-# the correct intention.
-The Catholic Church also says, with regards to baptism, that the correct intention is to do what the Church does as a matter of tradition.  The tradition of the Catholic church is to baptise by aspersion (sprinkling water over the head) or affusion (pouring water over the head) in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
-'''Orthodox Baptism'''
-The Orthodox Church teaches sprinkling or pouring in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.  The Orthodox church also teaches that baptism should be preceded by fasting, and that, if cool running water is not available, the baptism should be done three times rather than once.  (Didache, Chaper 7).
-'''Infant Baptism'''
-The Catholic, Orthodox, and Anglican Churches each baptize infants, while many Protestant churches do not baptize infants.
