Baptism

Here in Timor Leste thousands of young people make secret rituals and vows of entrance in which they promise to be faithful until death to a certain group. Some say that these rituals involves the sacrifice of animals, blood shed and even drink of blood. The one who is doing the vow suffer a bit. Why are they willing to submit to such a thing?
In the christian baptism, the believer makes a public commitment, not a secret one, to be faithful not to a certain group, but to Christ. There is no sacrifice, no blood shed, no suffering, because Christ, his new Lord already took on Him all the suffering on the cross.
