We do not rest on anything other than what God has stated...[and not] that one has to do something whether it is being baptized, doing charitable things, or taking a "leap of faith" As in "Baptize therefore in the name of the Ftaher, the Sin ad the Holy Ghost?"

As in "Baptize therefore in the name of the Ftaher, the Sin ad the Holy Ghost?" Well, certainly not being baptized into "Sin". ;O)
Baptism is not what saves you. Your faith in God is what saves you. That being said there are certain things that illustrate this faith in God (repentance of sin for example). But all of this comes about because of a changed heart.
