"The stages"? Sounds like you might be looking for what some particular theologian taught. But I would say the crucial stages are belief, confession of faith, and baptism in water. The church's response accepting and welcoming the newly baptized believer also seems important. To many the total immersion is important, symbolizing death and burial, and the coming out of the water, symbolizing resurrection. Some may add anointing with oil or tasting of salt.
Baptism in the bible is when a believers commits himself to god.
What baptism are you talking about? Infant baptism? Baptism of believers? Well the answer is much the same. Nothing happens to your sin when you are baptized. If you are a believer your sin is already dealt with before you get baptized. A believers baptism is a sign of the believers identifying with Christ in that Christ was buried and rose again the believer is buried (in water) and rises again to a new life. Infant baptism??? well there is nothing in the Bible that teaches infant baptism.
Believers baptism is the sought of baptism used by baptist, apastolic and penticostal churches. It means the person believs he/she is ready to become a part of the church and fully believe in the Lord
Baptism. In the Bible, baptism is a believers baptism. Someone who believes in Jesus Christ as their saviour.
Instructions are important because it gives you a feeling of accomplishment.
There is a water and a candle. i don't know anymore, but they are the main ones.
The Sacrament of Baptism is how one becomes Born Again in Christ the Lord. When a person is Baptized, he dies with Christ; in the Tomb with Christ, & rises with Christ.

Jesus said to Nicodemus that for a person to enter the kingdom of God they must be born again/regenerated. (John 3:3). A christian/believer is a person who has experienced the regenerating work of God's spirit giving him/her a new life in Christ. The baptism mentioned in the Bible is a believers baptism, baptism of people who have been born again/ regenerated by God's spirit. So regenerated believers are people who have been born again / regenerated also called the body of Christ in the Bible.
God chose immersion in water because it is a very powerful way of showing us that our sins must be forgiven. Believers realise that they need saving from sin and require God's grace. They go under the water in baptism, and die to an old way of life. They come up out of the water to a new life. In baptism, believers identify with the death of Jesus Christ, who died for us. Baptism removes all sin (even the original sin committed by Adam and eve).

This practice started with Anabaptist. It is practiced by most churches called Baptist today.
