You do not have to always do what your friends do. What was that sign that you have to be baptized? Ask your higher self for a specific sign. Why did you give up waiting for your sign, and just went along with what your friend did?
What did Jesus did for you? Jesus was not even your contemporary. Did you ask Jesus to do anything for you? Did Jesus do something that none of their contemporaries could? Could somebody do it for you now?
