I was reading your post and I just had to reply to your concerns. baptism is not just a reconition that you belong to a certain sect, but it goes way deeper than that. Let me say that I am not a Jehovahs Witness but I am a witness according to Act 1:8 I am Apostolic, that is my faith. Baptism came first by John the baptist who came to prepare the way before the Lord. It was called baptism of repentance. Later Jesus came teaching that he would baptize with the Holy Ghost and fire. Jesus said except a man be born of the water and spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God Jn 3:5. Baptism doesnt make us eligible to be identified with a sect or organization, it identifies us with Christ, by being baptized we are baptized unto his death, that is if we are baptized into the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of our sins. Rom. 6:4-6 , Acts 2:38 Baptism also saves us 1Pet.3:21. Futhermore we cannot get to the Father "Jehovah" unless we go though Jesus Jn 14:6. I encourge you if you have not been baptized into the name of Jesus Christ to do so.
