	Baptism is a kind of marriage to the Triune God. The parents and godparents pledge the child to God before the child has the power to decide for itself whether it wants to accept the marriage covenant. As children grow in spiritual freedom, they must ratify and unpack the graces that have surely been given to them in the sacrament. There is nothing automatic about this response to grace. It is a personal decision that only the person can make for themselves--the person is sovereign, by God's creation of their spiritual identity and freedom. No one else can take a bath for us; no one else can decide for us that we will surrender to the saving and sanctifying power of Baptism for us.		Baptism is a kind of marriage to the Triune God.

			[[Marriage]] requires free consent of the two people who are vowing themselves to each other.

	But this does ''not'' mean that the person about to be Baptized cannot do an examination of conscience (a "fearless and searching inventory" in [[Twelve Steps\|12-Step]] terminology), make an act of contrition, and discuss their past with a priest in a confidential setting (AA's [[Twelve Steps\|Fifth Step:]] "Admitted to God, to ourselves, and another human being the exact nature of our wrongs"). This is consistent with the admonition to "Repent and be baptized" [http://usccb.org/bible/acts/2:38 (Acts 2:38).] The candidate needs to understand that this act of repentance and confession is slightly different from the sacrament of Reconciliation, with Baptism itself taking the place of sacramental absolution.
