I did find out what the LBCF 1689 says and basically it agrees with the WCF that the baptism is a Church ordinance and as such should be administered by an elder. It does however leave room for someone such as a deacon to administer baptism, as long as he is under the authority of an elder. That room, so I have been told as an example is when the person being baptised is too big for the pastor to baptise.
