I am also trying to find out the answer to this question. I am baptizing our baby girl this month and both Godparents speak English as a second language and I really wanted to help them by showing the text or responses they will need to say ahead of time.

How are godparents relate to the rite of baptism?
A godparent is a child’s representative at the baptism. A baby is unable to understand or respond during the service, so it’s your job to make certain commitments on their behalf.

In an Anglican Baptisim does the priest perform the Exorcism on the child?
No... what a strange question! Baptism is a service usually conducted in a church building where the child is welcomed into the family of God and into the Christian Church (not the Catholic or Anglican Church specifically - one is baptised a Christianand not a member of any particular denomination). In the case of a child's baptism, the godparents and parents declare publicly their own faith in God and make promises that they will nurture the child spiritually in the Christian faith. If the person to be baptised is an adult, then he or she will answer for himself/herself rather than use godparents, although family and friends can act as sponsors for the person. There are three symbols used. Firstly the child is signed with a cross in the forehead (sometimes done in oil as a symbolic anointing) to mark out the child as a member of Christ's family. Secondly there is a ritual washing - usually sprinkling of water over the child, or, in some denominations, by actual immersion in a bath or water (usually only done for adult baptism) - symbolising the washing away of sin - the turning away from an old life and beginning a new. Thirdly a lighted candle is given to the child symbolising the new life walking in the Light of Christ in the world from then on. Finally prayers for the child and godparents are said before the service ends. Therefore the baptism has nothing to do with exorcism, which is the casting out, in Jesus' name, of something that is evil in a person.

Do Methodists believe in baptism?
Yes.Like the Anglican Church and Roman Catholics, they practice baptism in the name of the Trinitarian God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, for both adults and infants. In the case of infant baptism, the commitment to Christ is made by godparents or sponsors. When the person baptised is then old enough (as a teenager or adult) then he/she may, if they wish to make that commitment for themselves, undergo a confirmation of their baptism through a confirmation or membership service where they dedicate themselves to follow christ and to do God's will. Adults are also baptised but here they make the promises themselves and do not necessarily undergo any confirmation rite.The Methodists, Anglicans and Roman Catholics differ from the Baptist Church as this Church tends to baptise adults only, and baptise them by full immersion.Additional AnswerI was raised as a Methodist and baptized as an infant in my parent's church. Of course I have no recollection of this event and, certainly, had no understanding of church doctrine at that time.This is NOT the way the Bible portrays baptism. In the first century Christian congregation (as found in the book of Acts), a person was only baptized when he or she believed and had a full understanding of basic Bible truths.Therefore, infant baptism by sprinkling (as it is performed by the United Methodist Church) is totally unscriptural. It does not constitute a person's willing dedication to unconditionally do God's will forever as publicly symbolized by immersion (baptism).
What is the difference between Christian and Catholic baptism?
The Orthodox service is both Baptism and Confirmation. The Roman Catholics offer a second ceremony for Confirmation in the early teen years. An interesting facet of the Orthodox is that both Godparents are asked at one point to 'spit on the devil'.
