I have a huge problem, and it is simply this: I belong to no church, nor have I ever found one that meshes with my personal belief system. I consider myself a Christian (because I believe in Jesus Christ's message and love God wholeheartedly) and a Deist (because I believe that God is evident in ALL creation throughout the universe, and easily discerned by applying one's brain and eyes to the matter).

My problem is that I want to get baptized. Firstly, I don't know where to go to get baptized, since I belong to no church. I also have no idea who can do it for me. Is it necessary that someone has to be an ordained minister (whatever that means) in order to baptize, or can anyone baptize me?

Answers would be greatly appreciated, if anyone has one for me! Thank you in advance!
