Masonic Baptism by steve finnell
Would it be hypocritical for a so-called Christian Masons' to accept Masonic baptism as a purifying ritual and then reject Christian baptism as being essential to the forgiveness of sins?Can you be a Christian and a Mason at the same time?

The elements to be used in administering this rite are water, oil, salt, lighted candles.
