Abstract
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this primer is to contribute to a better understanding of defects in form that may make baptisms either invalid or of doubtful validity. The article first discusses the fundamental importance of the sacramental form, the various official forms of baptism, and the five essential elements of the form of baptism. This leads to an examination of some invalidating modifications to the form concerning the minister, subject, act, and Trinitarian formula. Finally, the article considers various "pastoral" arguments that downplay the importance of the use of the proper form of baptism.
