I think it's awkward to have the two "ofs" so close together. the very first comment in your earlier thread is correct, but if ye are of little faith and want to sidestep the issue, i'd do it this way:

I was there when each of my four brothers and sisters was baptized.

happy grammar-geeking!

at first glance this question sounds like deep buddhist wisdom!

but the verb has to agree with "each," not "brothers and sisters," so it's "was" in this case.
