Baptism celebrates the believer's identification with Christ's death and resurrection, symbolizing the washing away of sins and the beginning of a new life in Him. It signifies the believer's incorporation into the Body of Christ, the Church, marking a communal commitment to faith. Baptism also represents the reception of the Holy Spirit, empowering the individual for a life of discipleship. Lastly, it serves as a public declaration of faith, affirming the believer's commitment to live according to Christ's teachings.

Sikhs do not actually have Baptism as Baptism is a Christian term. Sikhs (if they choose to be as adults) are initiated into the Khalsa Sikhs which is a ceremony known as Amrit. During Amrit a Sikh drinks a holy sugared water from a steel bowl. From this time they must adhere to the 5'ks. Kachh, Kangah, Kara, Kesh and Kirpan. Initiation is available to both Men and Women.

That's an interesting question especially since there is no mention of any oils in connection with Christian baptism in the Bible. What I think you will find is that some person or church council created the use of oils in connection with baptism. After the church began (Pentecost after the crucifixion), oils in connection with religious services are found one time. In James 5:14 it is mentioned but not in connection with baptism. In fact its use in James is likely a reference to a cultural medical treatment of the day. Biblical baptism is immersion in water for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38). Bryant
