What is the Baptist connection to John the Baptist?
No connection really, although some Baptist Christians have sought to see a connection. Baptists, as a recognized entity, go back to the early 1600s. They often describe themselves as a "New Testament" church because of their emphasis on two ordinances (or sacraments), the use of immersion in baptism, and simplicity of their church and church leadership structure (things they hold in common with churches of the 1st century). John the Baptist was a Jewish prophet who carried out immersion baptism (like the Baptists). However, it was pre-Christian rite that it marked a radical repentance. Within the Christian context, baptism is a formal and public association of oneself with Christ, His death, and His resurrection.
Did John the Baptist founded the first baptist church?
No. Both Baptists and Anabaptists have their names deriving from the idea that they would "re-baptize" people. By 1500's it had become normative to practice the Christian rite of baptism on infants as an expression of faith of the parents.Both Baptists and Anabaptists believed that baptism is to express the faith of the individual. Therefore, people who joined Baptist or Anabaptist groups were required to undergo "believer's baptism" even if they had been baptized as infants.John the Baptist was described as such because his most famous role in the Bible was as the one who baptized Jesus. Even though John did practice believer's baptism, he was not a "Baptist" in the Christian sense. John's baptism was a Jewish baptism of repentance. (The English term "baptize" is simply the transliteration of a Greek word meaning to dip or immerse.) It was pre-Christian.
What different things happen in Catholics Church than to Baptists?
The Catholic Church has the fullness of the Christian faith as established by Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, and all seven sacraments which He ordained for our salvation. The Baptists do not have access to any of the sacraments, save Baptism, and do not have a valid priesthood.

Who do Baptists baptise?
Baptists believe in baptism, but only for adults. They also don't believe that baptism saves -- they say that baptism is symbolic of the commitment a person has made to God (and therefore Christ) to follow Him. Therefore, since they believe that only adults can make such a commitment, they do not allow babies or young children to be baptized and require adults who convert from other churches to be rebaptized (or baptized for real, from their point of view). You should understand that while Catholics, Lutherans, and other sacramental Christians view baptism as part of God's grace, Baptists view baptism as a work of faith. Since they view baptism as a work, it therefore cannot save, despite the words of Jesus (Mark 16:16) and St. Peter (I Peter 3:21). Finally, Baptists believe that infants cannot have faith until their minds are developed to understand the teachings of Scripture, despite the words of Jesus (Mark 9:42). Therefore, they teach that children are saved apart from faith (the actual mechanism is disputed) until they are capable of faith.
What is the difference between baptism and sprinkling?
In Christian denominations, baptism is a symbol of being completely cleansed. There are two main methods: full immersion, and the pouring water on the head. A number of denominations practice full immersion baptism (LDS, Baptists), where the whole body is briefly immersed in water. Sprinkling is the term given to the mode of pouring by those who do not believe that it is a legitimate baptism.

Where did baptism get its name?
Baptize means to be surrounded or completely covered. John the Baptist baptized Jesus of Nazareth according to the Bible. The denomination of Baptists got their name because they were called Anabaptist because they baptized after someone became an adult and made a decision to follow the Christian faith and profess this decision.
