The Orthodox only allow full immersion for Baptisms. Sprinkling (or aspersion) is done by Roman Catholics. An Orthodox child or adult must be submersed in water in order for a baptism to be valid. The Greek word "baptise" means to immerse, therefore sprinkling has never been allowed in the Orthodox Church.
