In the United Methodist Church, Baptism is understood as an action of God imparting grace (freely given love) to the one Baptized. United Methodists understand that God gives God's love to everyone. We call that prevenient grace, which is grace that goes before our awareness of or response to God's love. God acts first. Therefore, God's love is freely given regardless of a child's parents' marital status.
Baptism is also understood as taking place within the context of a community of faith where the community can commit to raising the Baptized child so that one day he/she will profess the faith for him/herself. As such, it is not appropriate practice for children to be baptized outside of the presence of the congregation. Some clergy might also say that a family must regularly attend church and be instructed in the meaning of Baptism before he/she is willing to Baptize a child. The stringency of clergy adhering to this last point is frequently lax.

No. In order to be able to partake of the Holy Sacrament of Communion, you must be baptized and christmated(confirmed) in the Church in which you plan to receive the first communion. However, you are unable to be baptized in both churches, as the church in which the child has been baptized for the second baptism, becomes the Church in which they stand in and can only stay in that church, unless they convert to the other church, and lost the "right" to take communion in the church they converted form.
