Baptismal vows

Baptismal vows are taken by the candidate, godparents, or parents when an individual receives the sacrament of baptism.

Baptismal vows are the renunciations required of an adult candidate for baptism just before the sacrament is conferred.[1] In the case of an infant baptism they are given by the godparents (sponsors) or parents themselves. In many Christian denominations, the taking of baptismal vows incorporates a person into church membership.[2]
