Baptism doesn't necessarily help you in life, it is more of a way of showing that you have accepted Jesus as your Savior and are being "born again" in Him. Being a Christian definitely helps in life, and baptism is just a way of representing your new life in God.

Baptism,Eucharist,Penance
From the RC point of view: The Sacraments of initiation: Baptism / Communion / Confirmation. In current times "Baptism", and baptism alone is considered the entry life into Christian life.
I'm not totally sure what you mean by a 'baptism card'.. I was baptized as sign/ vow to God and others that i would live for Jesus my whole life.
Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life. The gateway to life in the Spirit and the door which gives access to the other sacraments.
Baptism
Only Christianity uses baptism to help people have a remission from sin.
Most Christians believe that baptism forgives ones sins- anything bad they may have done in their life.
Methodists believe that one Baptism is enough. They believe that the effectiveness of Baptism is based on God's work in a person's life, not on that person's understanding of Baptism or ability to make a decision for Christ at the time of their baptism. That is also why Methodists allow infant Baptism.
Infant baptism symbolizes exactly the same as what adult baptism symbolizes: new life, forgiveness of sins and the acceptance of Christ as your Lord and savior. Parents are instructed to help their children to love, honor and obey God. Infant baptism shows that the parents are prepared to bring their child up in God's way and to guide him/her as a child of Christ until he/she is able to make his/her own decision to follow Christ.

Yes. There are two other ways to go to heaven. Baptism of Desire and Baptism of Blood. The first way is the Baptism of desire. Baptism of desire is when someone is sorry for their sins and cooperates with God's grace by trying to please him as best they know how to. The next way is the Baptism of blood. Baptism of blood is when someone gives up their life in martyrdom to Jesus. This shows that they have faith in Jesus and were saved by him.
