Nearly all Christian churches baptize. They follow the example of John the Baptist, and the instructions of Jesus Christ and Saint Paul, as set forth in the New Testament. The meaning and procedure of baptism varying among the Christian churches.
For example, the Anglican, Lutheran, Methodist, Reformed, and Catholic churches baptize by the act of sprinkling or pouring water upon the individual's head.
Baptists and similar churches baptize in the way it's described in the Holy Bible. This is known as immersion (submerging a person into water). This is when the entire body is placed under water. But, these churches have an individual make a voluntary statement of faith in Jesus Christ as their Savior. Therefore the churches will not baptize anyone too young to realize the significance of such a statement.

Baptism by proxy, where a living person stands in for a dead one, is a common practice in Mormonism. It was a feature of early Christianity, but has not been practiced since the 4th Century. I can find no sects that do it for living persons, although no doubt there are some fringe groups who do it. It is too obvious an idea to have been missed altogether.
