Theres no "baptism" in Islam. In order to become a Muslim, one has to say:Ash hadu an laa ilaaha il Allah wa ash hadu anna muhammadar rasul ullah
"i bear witness taht there is no God but ALlah and Muhammad is the messenger of ALlah"
One cannot be compelled to follow Islam. Thus, one must believe with one's heart in the religion of Islam.. Also, legal formalities are not a must with islam, but they help with regards to the law.
After saying the shahada (testimony of faith), one should take an islamic bath (called ghusl).

In addition to the Shahada, the Islamic profession of faith in the One God with Muhammed as His prophet, circumcision is very common

There is only one way to be baptized, any other way is wrong, You Must be Baptized by complete immursion in water In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, that is how All the Apostles baptized people all throughout the bible, any other way, you need to be re-baptized, Anyone that was baptized using the TITLES of father, son, & Holy Ghost needs to be rebaptized, Father, Son, & Holy Ghost is not a name, But titles to one redemptive name, & that is the Lord Jesus Christ.

Nop, in fact all u need to say is ʾaÅ¡hadu ʾan] lÄ ilÄha illÄ-llÄh, wa [ʾaÅ¡hadu ʾanna] muḥammadan rasÅ«lu-llÄh
English rendering:
"[I testify that] there is no god (ilah) but God (Allah), and [I testify that] Muhammad is the messenger of God."
U might have witness but...Allah is enough witness
ahh and take a shower before this...we call it ablution

Sure you can but , what good it will do ? Did Islam suffer so much , shed his innocent blood ,and die a wrongful death on the cross for the believers sins and rose from the grave three days later ?

In order to get into Islam you must say : " I bear witness that there is no god but ALLAH, and I bear witness that muhammed is the messenger of ALLAH "

Well, In order to be an atheist you must say : " I am free of all mytholgies ! "
Peace be upon all

You simply have to give the Testimony of Faith called "Shahdah" .
That is ... "There is Not God but Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah"

I think you simply make a profession of faith called the"shahada".
