How many times have you been Baptised? (if at all)

I was having a discussion with my sister about World events. Next minute she surprised me when she said she was thinking of getting Baptised. I was taken aback and said she was Baptised a Catholic and she would die a Catholic. I asked her, what religion? and she said, "A Christian and have it done in the ocean".
I can't get my head around this, although I must admit my eldest sister got Baptised a Christian in someone's swimming pool 25 years ago, and said not to tell our parents, as they would be greatly saddened. I would like to hear someone's thoughts on the matter. I feel just being Baptised doesn't make you a better person, it's our actions in life on how you treat your fellow Man and trying to make a difference in society.

. I don't think reading the Bible every day will guarantee you a Golden ticket into Heaven either. I try to follow "The Beatitudes" which are 8 Blessings.
It's a way of life. I won't go into it, but it can be looked up.
 

Life is rough and scary. Whatever someone can grasp onto that helps calm their mind and helps them on the journey, and they are not injuring others, then I believe in it.
 
Twice, once when I was about 9 or 10, again later as a 16 or 17 year old. The second time I did it for my grandma, She didn't ask me to, but I knew it would make her happy.
 
Once, when I was a baby.

In my family it was important to be baptized and given a name as soon as possible in case something tragic happened and you died without an identity.

“All God’s children got their name written in The Book of Life…”
