The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) uses the word "Baptism". Within the church, baptism is the ordinance or ceremony by which an individual becomes an official member of the church. Additionally, Mormons believe that at baptism, we make a promise with God that we will follow the example of Jesus Christ. Baptism is also a symbol of burying the old or natural man and being reborn to a life in Christ.
A Mormon baptism is very similar to baptism in other Christain faiths. The person being baptized will dress in white and enter a pool of water where an ordained priest is waiting. The priest will then recite a prayer, stating that this person is being baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. The person being baptized will then be immersed completely under the water and pulled back up again.
Mormons will not baptize anyone under eight years of age, believing that young children are innocent and do not require baptism until they are old enough to understand.

Does the Mormon faith believe in baptism after death?
Yes. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the 'Mormon' church) teaches that because God loves all His children, they will all be given the opportunity to accept salvation through Jesus Christ before being judged. If someone did not accept baptism while they were living, they can accept a baptism performed in their behalf after their death. Mormons perform these baptisms in their temples. When a Mormon performs a baptism in behalf of a deceased person, they believe that person will then be able to accept or reject that baptism.

What does baptism in Mormon religion mean?
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that baptism symbolizes being reborn in Christ. When a Mormon is baptized, they are baptized by immersion, meaning that they are put totally under the water. When the person is laid into the water it symbolizes burying the old life, and when they rise up out of the water it symbolizes the birth a new life. When a Mormon is baptized they believe that they take upon themselves the name of Jesus Christ, they are now qualified to be covered by His atoning blood to receive salvation. Baptism washes away any past sins and makes you an official member of the Church. Nobody is baptized before age 8, because Mormons believe that children under age 8 are innocent.

Do Mormons believe in Baptism?
Yes. In order to become an official member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church), you must be baptized. Anyone is welcome to participate in Mormon worship services, but to be an official member of the congregation or to serve in the church, you must be baptized. Here are some Mormon beliefs about baptism: *Mormons believe that baptism must be performed by one with the proper authority, and therefore do not accept baptisms in other Christian churches as valid. Any Mormon male who has been ordained a priest (most Mormon males age 16 and older) may perform a baptism with the permission of the local Bishop. *Mormons believe that only those who are old enough to be accountable for their actions should be baptized. They will not baptize children under 8 years old, and baptizing those with mental handicaps is up to the discretion of the individual. *Mormons believe that baptism must be done by immersion and in the name of God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost. A baptism can be performed anywhere. *Mormons believe that baptism is essential for salvation. (see Mark 16:16, Luke 7:30, John 3:5, Acts 2:38, Acts 10:48, 1 Peter 3:21) Because of this, they also perform baptisms in behalf of their ancestors who died without the opportunity. It is believed that the ancestor has the opportunity to accept or reject this baptism in the afterlife. These baptisms for the dead are done in Mormon Temples. *In order to qualify for baptism in the Mormon church, you must have attended several worship services and be living an acceptable lifestyle. (Avoiding drugs, alcohol, tobacco, coffee, pornography, and sex outside of marriage, obeying the Ten Commandments, etc.) You must have repented of any past sins and also meet with a local church leader and bear witness of your faith in Jesus Christ to them.

You know that Mormon was the name of a prophet historian and the name was used in the book Book of Mormon so when did the religion start to prefer the term LDS?
Yes it is true that Mormon is the name of a prophet and historian in the Book of Mormon, but members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints have always preferred to be called "Latter Day Saints" since the beginning.Much of this comes from this verse:"And how be it my church save it be called in my name? For if a church be called in Moses' name then it be Moses' church; or if it be called in the name of a man then it be the church of a man; but if it be called on my name then it is my church, if it so be that they are built upon the Gospel." -Book of Mormon, 3 Nephi 27:8Calling them "Mormons" gives the false illusion that they worship Mormon, not Jesus Christ, and also that they only use the Book of Mormon, when they also use the Bible.Also, the nickname "Mormon" was given to Church Members by enemies of the Church, so you can understand why they aren't thrilled about using it.Rather than make a big deal about it, they have largely accepted the nickname, although many members find it desrespectful or offensive.
