Honestly, I have no idea. Supposedly from what I have heard it is you stand in front of the audience and announce that you wish to transition before your family and god and you give your preferred name and then some kind of acceptance from family and the church members and then the pastor grants you the chosen name and its over from what I have heard but this will be something new to me. Also, normally you only get 1 baptism in life but since i am transitioning the church has agreed to perform a 2nd baptism and grant me the right or not sure how to say it but get granted permission to transition before god family and the church as a whole, supposedly.
