Do Jewish people get “baptized” like Christians do?
Fabiola Kshlerin
There is no baptism in Judaism.
Jewish boys are circumcised on the eighth day after birth to fulfill the covenant between God and Abraham.
There is another Jewish concept called 'mikvah' involving purity achieved through dunking one's entire body in a naturally-formed pool of water.

Baptism is a specifically Christian thing, but it originated as part of the ritual for conversion to Judaism. Converts to Judaism must immerse themselves in a mikvah, a ritual bath. This is quite similar to the ritual baths used by those Cristian denominations that practice adult baptism with full immersion. (Historically, Christians only began to do infant baptism by a sprinkle of water about 1000 years ago.) Those who are born Jewish may immerse themselves for other reasons -- The Bible has numerous commandments that ask for immersion as a purification ritual. Jewish boys undergo circumcision at age 8 days. That biblically mandated ritual marks the entry of a boy into the covenant of Abraham, and socially, it holds a place similar to infant baptism in Christianity.

Muslims do not encourage their children not to like Christians. Christians and Jews are people of the book as mentioned in the Quran and the people closer to Muslims are Christians as mentioned in the Quran. Muslims are allowed to marry Christians and Jews as they are people of the book. It is therefore a misconception on your part to think that Muslims are encouraged not to like Christians!

How are Christians the same as Jewish people?
They both believe God is the one true God and the Christians use the same scriptures as the Hebrews except the Christians also have what is called a New Testament which tells about Jesus and the start of the Christian Church and the Gospel message. Christians believe Jesus is the Messiah whereas the Hebrew people do not believe Jesus is the Messiah. There are Hebrew people who do believe Jesus is the Messiah.Both meet and worship God and they live what they believe.ANSWERI agree with the above, but it is missing something. Jesus was born a Jewish person. He observed the Sabbath and other Jewish traitions. But the Jews did not like his ideas so they crucified him. After years the apostles were walking through Antioch and the people said they were Christ-like and that when they were being called Christians. So Jesus inspired a religion and because Christ was of Jewish origin Christianity is based on Judaism.With Judaism the wager for sin is death. Christians can obtain repentance and achieve salvation.Jewish AnswerOn a religious basis, Christians and Jews have almost nothing in common. The only commonality is that the Christian Old Testament was based on the Jewish Bible, the Tanach.Judaism teaches that all men are born good and innocent and that faith is meaningless without action. The Christian concept of 'sin' doesn't exist in Judaism. If we act against HaShem or another person, we have to seek the forgiveness of the wounded party and resolve to not repeat our negative actions.
