Best Answer

Christianity baptises those who chose to become a part of our faith because we are commanded to do by the founder of our faith which is Jesus Christ
To the Apostolic patriarchs of our faith Jesus commanded and instructed: Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
The New Testament book of Acts which gives an account of how Christianity was established by the apostles; gives several examples of them obeying this command by baptizing new converts (Acts chapters 2,8,9,10,16,18 and 19)
My time will not allow me to discuss any of the many church doctrinal issues concerning Baptism, but if you have a more specific question post it.
