Do baptists baptize or use confirmation for adults?
Baptism is the closest thing to confirmation in the Baptist church. To go through baptism a believer confesses their acceptance of Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and is voted on by the congregation to be accepted into the congregation. Baptism by the pastor or an ordained minister follows.
Confirmation in many churches follows a program of catechism that affirms a person in the faith and answers many questions that a person might have in their faith journey. In the Baptist church they rely on the Sunday School to continue someones faith journey even as an adult.

Did God turn Cain's Skin black?
In the Bible it does not say that anyone was turned black. Cain was not "marked" for his murder of hi brother but Ham laughed at his father's drunkenness and was punished by being marked.
And Noah the husbandman began, and planted a vineyard. And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done unto him. And he said: Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. And he said: Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem; and let Canaan be their servant. God enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and let Canaan be their servant..

Most protestants don't do this. A few in the "holiness" and Free will Baptist denominations do this because in the culture of Jesus' day one of the signs that a woman was a prostitute is that she would wear jewelry. Most Protestants, however, believe that since our modern culture does not equate jewelry with prostitution, there is nothing wrong with jewelry.

How do Baptists and Pentecostals differ in their beliefs about the Holy Spirit?
The basic difference is that Pentecostals all believe that all spiritual gifts are in existence today and are meant to be practiced. Baptists differ on this belief some believe that all spiritual gifts are in existence today, other believe that the sign gifts (ie prophecy and speaking in tongues) ended with the finalization of the bible in the 2nd century. All Baptists agree that sign gifts like speaking in tongues are not intended for public worship services, some believe they should not be practiced at all and others saying that they are fine to practice in private settings.

What is baptists view on the euchrist?
Baptists typically view Eucharist as a symbolic rite. By symbolic is meant that it is not a dispenser of Grace, or an act that has power in and of itself. Rather, it serves as a symbolic reminder.
Baptists commonly use the term "communion" or "Lord's supper" rather than Eucharist. The term "communion" points out the idea that the act is a meant to be done as a community of believers. Believer's come together in fellowship and are symbolically joined together through the act, and joined historically with Jesus and His disciples, and the church throughout history. The term "Lord's supper" is a reminder that the act draws us to the mean that Jesus had with His disciples shortly before He died. As such, it is a reminder backward and forward. We are to do it in remembrance of Him (past) until He comes (future).
Baptists commonly would describe Eucharist as an "ordinance" rather than a "sacrament." Baptists tend to think the term "sacrament" as suggesting that a certain amount of special grace or blessing is given by the act. The term "ordinance" gives the idea more that it is an important and expected activity, but its value is in its symbolism.
Why is a baptist church less decorated than Roman Catholic?
Roman Catholic churches are very decorated. There are stain glass windows, statues, and the Stations of the Cross. A lot of times there are cravings and painted frescoes on the walls and ceilings. Sometimes gold is used on the alter and other objects. Some of the churches I have been in take your breath away because of the art and it is hard to take in all of it. Many of the ancient Roman churches also have mosaics that look like paintings. The St. Peters in the Vatican has mosaics all through the church as well as on the floor. The greatest Catholic chapel is the Sistine that is painted from floor to ceiling with the art of Michelangelo in frescoes.
