The original and full type of baptism was immersion. This is also the meaning of the Greek word "baptisma" that gives us our English word. Immersion was the form of baptism until the 13th century when Thomas Aquinas gave answers to objections to changing from immersion to pouring.

Yes, although most Pastors discourage the practice.Canon 856 of the Code of Canon Law says that, although Baptism may be celebrated on any day, it is commendable to celebrate it ordinarily on Sunday or, if possible, at the Easter Vigil. The Code also encourages Baptism during the celebration of the Eucharist so that the relationship between Baptism and Eucharist will be clearly seen.Since Lent is sufficiently close to Easter, most Pastors recommend that the baptism be performed at Easter.
Can you be baptized in other churches other than a baptist church?
Baptismal services are performed by many religious denominations. However, Baptists do not recognize any baptisms except for one performed by an ordained Baptist minister from an authorized Baptist church. Even then, if the person that is baptized has not truly been "born again" then the baptism doesn't count because baptism is a picture of believing and receiving that Jesus Christ died, was buried, and rose again on the third day. If a person didn't really believe and receive Jesus Christ then that persons baptism is not valid. Baptism does not save, it is just a picture of salvation.
What does baptism in Christianity mean?
