While you can cross a land boarder with a government issued birth certificate if you also have something like a government issued drivers license, your baptism certificate isn't government issued, and isn't as reliable so not good enough.

US Citizens Visiting Canada by Air
Until September 30, 2007, American citizens flying to Canada do not need a passport if they can show the following:
1. Department of State official proof of passport application
AND
2. Government-issued photo identification.
The US government announced June 8, 2007, that it had relaxed earlier stricter requirements due to a backlog of passport applications. Thus, until September 30, 2007, visitors to Canada arriving by air need only present proof of passport application rather than a passport itself. These requirements are less strict than those originally mandated in January 2007 by the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI).
(In February 2007, the new passport requirements were relaxed for children.
US Citizens Visiting Canada by Land or Water
The other date, which is when the WHTI will require citizens to present a passport when crossing the Canadian border by land or water, is yet to be determined. The deadline for the changes to take place, however, is June 1st, 2009. The deadline was previously January 1, 2008.
Necessary ID to Enter Canada by Land or Water before the WHTI Dates:
Until the WHTI land and water dates go into effect, American citizens crossing the border into Canada by land or water need ID that proves two things: 1) Citizenship, and 2) Identity by way of a photo.
A driver's license on its own or a Social Security Card on its own are not valid ID to cross the Canadian border.
The following pieces of identification will serve as satisfactory proof of American citizenship to enter Canada.
Please note, however, that photocopies of ID are not acceptable, only originals:
US passport
OR
Birth certificate,
OR
Certificate of citizenship or naturalization,
AND
Photo ID, such as current driver's license
All U.S. citizens entering Canada from a third country must have a valid passport.

no, you need a picture ID like a drivers licence to cross by car.
Any other mode of transportation requires a passport
