Is it possible to baptize a child without godparents?

The kid has already turned a month old and parents start thinking about bringing him into the bosom of the church - that is, baptizing. This can be done literally from birth, but most often they are baptized , starting from the fortieth day after the birth of the baby.

Who should become the child's godparents?

The future godfather is entrusted with the great mission of bringing the child under God's patronage, and for this the candidates themselves for the second parents must be true believers.

Today mass began to attend church services. It's only in reality in this worldly life that all this ostentatious faith in God is disappearing somewhere.

That is why many popes and mothers, not seeing worthy candidates, want to know whether it is possible to baptize a child without godparents so as not to take someone "for a tick".

The answer to this question can be given only by the servants of the church, but it is very simple - if you doubt whether it is possible to baptize a child without the presence of the godparents, discard all doubts about this, for the church allows it. It is believed that it is better for the child not to have spiritual mentors at all than to have someone unsuitable in their role.

Modern parents do not go deep into the sacrament of baptism and believe that the godmothers must be close friends or relatives so that they can give the child presents for Christmas and birthday. But what for really need a baby godmother, few people think.

An unbaptized child can not get to the appointed time in the Kingdom of God, but after the procedure of baptism he becomes one of those who can confess, receive communion and perform all the church rites for the salvation of the soul.

The godparents act as teachers and mentors, these are people who, before the Lord, undertake to take care of the moral and spiritual development of their ward. For girls and boys is very important one godfather of the same sex with him.

The question is whether to baptize a child without a godfather or mother is analogous to whether it is possible at all to do without these people, if not found suitable. Yes, it can be done, but then the whole responsibility for the child's connection with God lies on the shoulders of the parents, who instill the concept of faith from the child's fingernails.

If mom and dad are not too religious and do not think that the child needs it, then there is no need at all to baptize him in the church. Such a child, when he grows up, will determine his own way of life and can decide whether he should be baptized in the Christian faith or remain an atheist.
