Well as you should know Jesus was baptised in Lake Jordan by his cousin. It was done with a shell.
People were not baptized in the Old Testament. Instead, there was circumcision of males at 8 days of age.
Yes. In the Bible the baptism referred to is a believersbaptism that is baptism of some body who is a christian
Roman Catholic AnswerThere is only a Bible, the Bible used by the Catholic Church is the entire New Testament and the entire Old Testament. The only thing that makes it a "Catholic" Bible is the guarantee in the front of it that it conforms to the Bible as accepted by the Church since the fourth century. And, no, nowhere in the Bible does it say anything about sprinkling for baptism.
It's found in Exodus 14:"And the children of Israel went INTO THE MIDST OF THE SEA UPON DRY GROUND: and THE WATERS WERE A WALL UNTO THEM on their right hand, and on their left." (verse 22)"...I would not that ye would be ignorant, how that ALL OUR FATHERS WERE UNDER the Cloud, and ALL PASSED THROUGH THE SEA; and WERE ALL BAPTIZED UNTO MOSES in the Cloud and IN THE SEA... for they all drank of that Spiritual ROCK that followed them: and that ROCK was CHRIST." (I Cor.10;1-4)
The baptism will be in the church records where the baptism was done.
From a scriptural standpoint, there is no reason for a baptism to be private.It CAN be, if the person wishing to be baptized is highly self-conscious or (in extreme cases) fearful of retribution, but in the New Testament record, baptism involved hundreds, and even thousands of people at a time (Acts 2:41).

New Testament
"to make know world-wide the forgiveness of sins through the atoning death of Christ; the baptism in water by immersion; the baptism of the Holy Ghost; the five gifts of our Ascended Lord; and the vision referred to in the New Testament as 'the Church which is his Body."
Yes - as long as they are both accepted as suitable for the baptism. i.e Either names from the new testament (not Jewish) OR ancient Greek names. My daughter was baptised with 2 Natalia Arkondia
Accounts of Jesus' baptism are found at Matthew 3 (the entire chapter), Mark 1:1-13 and Luke 3:21, 22.
