In the Sikh religion, baptism (amrit sanchar) is an initiation that can be gone through at any age. Once they have taken amrit sanchar, they are known as an amritdhari. After becoming amritdhari, the men change their surname to Singh, and the women change their surname to Kaur. These mean lion and princess, and are to help represent their rebirth. They gain the privilege of being members of Guru Panth, and potentially becoming part of the Sikh collective religious authority.

What started the historical development of baptism?

Baptism was already being practiced in Judaism when John the Baptist went about preaching that the Jewish people should be baptised for repentance. He said he was doing this so that they would be ready for the coming of the kingdom of the heaven, which he said was near. Jesus was baptised by John the Baptist, and after that began his active earthly ministry. Jesus also baptised, and his disciples baptised as well, and after his resurrection he commanded his disciples to baptise those who also wanted to follow him. On the day of Pentecost, which is considered to be the beginning day of the Christian Church, Peter told the people who were assembled there to repent of their sins and to be baptised, and through these things their sins would be forgiven. He also told them that they would receive the Holy Spirit, who would help them to give up sinning in the future. Baptism has been practiced in Christianity ever since.
