Question

What does "baptised" means?

iS IT TRUE THAT AFTER WE ARE BAPTISED WE DONT DO SEX?

Answer 1

Baptism is the outward expression to symbolize the inward change of your heart once you accept Jesus as your Savior. It has nothing to do with denomination or 'necessary steps to get to heaven'....

once baptized... you would have a clean heart and be leaning to follow Jesus as your Lord of your Life.... if you are married, sex is fine... if not, you should refrain from sex until you are married

Answer 2

To be immersed, like a piece of clothing to be dyed a different color.

The Greek word βαπτίζω, from which baptize is derived, basically means "to immerse, submerge". In spite of the word's basic meaning, there is, as Strong's Concordance says, no unequivocal instance in the New Testament of its use to indicate full body immersion. There are two cases in which it clearly indicates instead a washing that did not involve complete immersion. One case is , which recounts that, when Jesus ate at a Pharisee's house, "[t]he Pharisee was astonished to see that he did not first wash (literally, be "baptized" - βαπτίζω) before dinner." There was obviously no expectation that Jesus would immerse himself totally before eating, and so βαπτίζω does not have that meaning here. The word βαπτίζω appears also in of a before-meals ritual washing: "The Pharisees ... do not eat unless they wash (νίπτω, the ordinary word for washing) their hands thoroughly, observing the tradition of the elders; and when they come from the market place, they do not eat unless they wash themselves (literally, are "baptized" - βαπτίζω)".
Some religious groups understand the word baptism to mean whole-body immersion in water, including submersion and emergence. For others, the meaning is broad enough to encompass washing by pouring. For yet others, it is a symbolic term meaning "identification with" (e.g. Jesus) having no connection with earthly ritual.

Receiving the Holy Ghost (or Holy Spirt) through water by someone skilled in the process of water baptism.
