Many local churches have special baptism services specifically orchestrated to provide a baptism for those desiring to be baptized. Some churches have baptismal tanks, filled with water, for the purpose of immersing those desiring baptism. Although baptism is not a requirement for entering into Heaven, it is a command by Christ himself, as a personal profession of faith and commitment to Him. Basically, it's an outward profession of an inward cleansing. By being obedient to Jesus' command to be baptized, a person is publicly displaying his/her commitment to Christ. If a person who has NOT given their life to Jesus Christ wants to be baptized, the baptism would be in vain. There is no magical transformation in baptism. Transformation occurs upon total surrender to Christ. Baptism is simply a way of telling the world that a spiritual transformation, in Christ, has taken place. So, if you have received Jesus Christ as your personal savior and have not yet been baptized, seek out a local pastor who will either baptize you himself, or direct you to a pastor who can grant your wishes.
Answer2: No good is done when baptisms involve sprinkling, the pouring of water on the head, or even immersion of individuals who have not been taught Scriptural truth. John was baptizing people in the Jordan River. Did he merely stand in the Jordan while he poured a little river water on their heads or sprinkled them with it? What happened when John baptized Jesus? Matthew reports that after being baptized "Jesus immediately came up from the water. ( Matthew 3:16) Jesus had been down in the water, having been immersed in the Jordan River. The baptisms of Jesus and his disciples involved total immersion in water. Christian baptism is not for everyone. Jesus ordered his followers: "Go . . . and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you." (Matthew 28:19, 20) Before being baptized, people must be 'taught to observe all the things Jesus commanded his disciples.' Hence, forced baptisms of those lacking faith based on accurate knowledge of God's Word are valueless and contrary to the commission Jesus gave his true followers.-Hebrews 11:6.
