JUST BY CALLING ONE SELF 'SINGH' OR 'KAUR' ONE CANNOT BE A 'SIKH': My name is Mr. XXXX Singh, am I a SIKH in the 'Court of God'. Lets find what GURBANI and REHAT NAMAS have to say.

Pratham Rahit Yeh Jaan, Khande-ki-Pahul Chhakey.
Soee Sikh Pardhan, Avar Naa Pahul Jo Lai.

The primary Rahit for a Sikh is to get baptised / take Khande-ki-Pahul. And, only he is a great who does not accept anything else.

This point has also been explicitly made clear by the Satguru himself as:

So Sikh Sakhaa Bandhap Hai Bhai, Jay Gur Ke Bhaaney Vich Aavey

(pg 601)

Only that person is a Sikh and he is my near and dear one, who comes under the total allegiance of the Guru. As against this, one who owes allegiance only to his personal will, always remains in separation and will suffer

Das (servant of sangat) has published this post with a humble heart to alert all of our Sikhs with the odds we shall be facing in the Court of God upon not having Baptised or not having taken #Khande Batte Di Pahul#.
