I did not choose the Khalsa, the Khalsa chose me. If it is wrong to use the name Khalsa, then my birth (through the grace of WaheGuru) must also be wrong.
The Khalsa Panth will always be known as Khalsa, just as I have and always will be known as Khalsa.

 Chapter 3 - Sikh Faith
To be accepted and honored as a member of the team (Khalsa Panth), one has to know how to play (do good deeds), wear his 5-symbol uniform and obey the rules of the game (observe the Khalsa Reht).
To be a Sikh, a member of the Panth, all “sikhs”, even the Guru himself, had to take Amrit, adopt the 5K uniform, have a new surname (Singh for male, Kaur for female) and agree to follow a prescribed code of conduct, the Khalsa Reht.
It is not the physical utility of wearing the Sikh symbols that makes the person a Sikh, it is the philosophy behind their wearing and his becoming a member of the Khalsa Panth, the son of Guru Gobind Singh, that gives the person the pride of being a Sikh.

It is thus that the Khalsa Panth came into being through the joint-spirit of Naam and Kirpan.

By so doing the Guru implicitly merged his authority with the Khalsa Panth; it can be argued that the founding of the Khalsa was the beginning of the doctrine of Guru Panth.
This implies that the institution of the Sarbat Khalsa did not last long and was killed in the embryo by Maharaja Ranjit Singh, who exercised de facto authority over Sikh affairs.
It is important to note that the tradition of the founding of the Khalsa rejects the notion of caste while promoting the concept of a casteless Sikh brotherhood.
