Baptism is just a ritual ,with no meaning except that ascribed to it by believers.
When I was growing up,it was common practice in Catholic hospital for staff to baptise babies who were dying. In Catholic doctrine any Catholic can perform a valid baptism. Much to the chagrin of Aussie dads, the church draws the line at baptising a baby with beer.
