Bahá'Ãs don't really use the word "baptism". In Christianity, baptism is related to a person becoming a Christian. Basically, if a person believes that Bahá'u'lláh is who he claims to be (a Messenger sent by God, to guide us), and does an effort to fulfill the Bahá'à laws, he can be considered a believer, i.e., a member of the Bahá'à community.

When u believe Jesus died for your sin
There is no specific patron saint of baptism. However, John the Baptist is often associated with baptism as he is known for baptizing Jesus in the Jordan River. Therefore, some may consider him as a spiritual guide and intercessor in matters related to baptism.
It depends on what type of baptism. Spiritual baptism is being immersed in the Holy Spirit when a person accepts Jesus Christ as the Son of God and asks for forgiveness of their sins. It is necessary for salvation and everlasting life in heaven. On the other hand, water baptism is used to pronounce a saved person's public profession of faith to fellow believers through Jesus's example. If a person has already been spiritually baptized and becomes a Christian, water baptism is recommended but not required. Some churches believe that water baptism is essential to salvation also, but, in the Bible, Jesus clearly states that only spiritual baptism is necessary.
