How much does it cost to be baptised?

Answer 1

Acts:8:20: But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.

Baptism is absolutely free!!!!! ANSWER #2 Baptism, along with all the sacraments of the Christian church cannot be bought with money, although I am always horrified to see an envelope of money being given to the priest or pastor after administering any of the sacraments. In the first century of Christianity, a Samaritan named Simon Magus (Simon the magician/or sorcerer) attempted to buy the miraculous powers of the apostles, especially the power of healing by the laying on of hands. This became known as the sin of 'simony'. Stories of Simon's ability to levitate and fly of his own accord would haunt Christians right into the middle ages.

Answer 2

There is never a charge or cost for any of the sacraments, that is a very serious sin known as simony. A voluntary offering made be made to the priest, this is called a stole fee (an offering to help the priest buy things that he needs and uses for the sacraments), but it is entirely voluntary and never required.
