I see no difference between Baptists and other churches.

I hope so.

But many non-Baptist churches have believes that are contrary to Baptist and with each other. One of the most glaring is the Roman Catholic belief that when an infant is baptized they are "born-again".

Are Catholics Born Again?
"When a Catholic says that he has been “born again,” he refers to the transformation that God’s grace accomplished in him during baptism."

Concerning baptism, Baptist, as far as I know, hold the biblical view:

(Rom 6:3 KJV) Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
(Rom 6:4 KJV) Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

However, here's something I find interesting, most active Witnesses have no knowledge of (or interest in) the Early Church Fathers, it’s crucial to realize that no Christians held views like theirs about the nature of Christ until Arius came along at the turn of the fourth century. Other nontrinitarians will dispute this, but their examples are generally of early Fathers using theological terms imprecisely, or simply references to the “economic” subordination. This is to be expected; before Nicaea, the Church hadn’t settled on precisely how to articulate its understanding of the Godhead. That certainly doesn’t mean there wasn’t a generally accepted, lived expression of that understanding from the very beginning. JW's are just modern day Arians. This is an ancient heresy.

Again:
John 1:11-13
11 He came unto His own, and His own received Him not.
12 But as many as received Him (Jewish and Gentiles), to them gave He power to become the sons of GOD, even to them that believe on His NAME:-->JESUS-Acts 4:11-12 ; NOT Jehovah,YHWH,Yahweh, HaShem, Adonai, Yehovah, Elohim, Yahusha,YEHװshia, YEHװvah. JESUS /JOSHUA IS GOD.

13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of GOD.

Thus, be Jews or Gentiles,they will be saved if believe in the NAME of JESUS, i.e. as believers in JESUS and obey His Gospel of GOD's Kingdom, that will be established from now on-Revelation 11:15-18.

JESUS never was esoteric, neither kabbalistic, nor spiritist. The esoteric, and kabbalistic, and demonic jehovah has nothing to do with JESUS. Jehovah is the esoteric, and kabbalistic and spiritist NAME of the DEVIL, the Old Serpent and Satan. In fact, the DEMONIC NAME jehovah is one of the ten kabbalistic names of the Devil, understand? or nicknames.
