The belief that baptism is necessary for salvation is a topic of debate among Christians. Some interpret Bible verses as indicating that baptism is essential for salvation, while others believe that faith alone is sufficient for salvation. Ultimately, individual beliefs on this matter may vary.
Act 19:3 NIV - So Paul asked, "Then what baptism did you receive?" "John's baptism," they replied. Act 19:4 NIV - Paul said, "John's baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus." Act 19:5 NIV - On hearing this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. If it is a church affiliation issue not sure but baptism in principle as stated above is in Jesus Christ and that is the key, not where it occured.
As an AI, I do not have personal beliefs. However, the importance of being baptized as stated in the Bible verse is a significant aspect of the Christian faith for many believers.
While Graham supports believer's baptism, he also stated that infant baptism was OK, because it was practiced throughout history. All of His own children were reportedly baptized as infants, probably due to his wife, Ruth, having been a daughter of Presbyterian missionaries.
The logical age for baptism would be at about 18, when the person has fully learned and thought about what religion is and means. Of course many who believe in infant baptism have their children baptised soon after birth. This has to with their beliefs about baptism. Others, as stated above, are baptised when they reach the 'age of accountability' which is not specified specifically in the Bible and will vary according to the person. I believe there is no "designated" age.When someone is to be baptized it should be when they know what they are doing and do it willingly.
I personally could find no record of the crowds reaction to Jesus' baptism in the four Gospels. It is stated however in at least three of the Gospels that the Heavens opened up when he was baptized so one could safely assume that the surrounding crowd of people were fairly amazed to say the least.
No, because the Trinity was unknown to men at that time, since Jesus the Son was first revealed at that time, and the Holy Spirit had not come upon men until Pentecost (except for certain holy men at various times). John the Baptist baptized men for repentance of sin (which Jesus had no sin but stated that He was doing this as an example of what He wanted His followers to do). God the Father spoke from heaven at His baptism and revealed that He was pleased in Jesus His Son.

Yes, the Roman Catholic Church recognizes the baptism of the Episcopal Church and most any other Christian Church that performs a baptism in the name of the Holy Trinity, e.g., "In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit." The Pastor of your Catholic Church will request the Baptism Card or Certificate signed by the priest of your Episcopal Church, when your family is 'received' into the Catholic Church and/or prior to signing off on the child's the First Communion. As a side-note the Catholic Church recognizes that any person may perform the Baptism of a child in cases of necessity, even by a non-baptized person, with the required intention, by using the Trinitarian baptismal formula as stated above. The intention required is to will to do what the Church does when she baptizes. [Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1256]
