The Rite of Baptism in most Christian churches involves Holy (blessed) Water and Holy (blessed) Water. Some denominations use springs or streams, or even a bathtub filled with water--these are blessed by the clergy just before the Baptism. Full immersion (indoor or outdoor) for adult Baptism is practiced in many denominations; other denominations use a Baptismal font (especially for infant Baptism) or sprinkling of Holy Water on the person's forehead.For example, a disabled child or bedridden adult would not be denied Baptism just because they cannot be dunked or immersed in water. The Rite of Baptism is not to exclude, but to include people into the Family of God.
Does the Anglican church recognize baptism in other christian denominations?

What is the difference between baptism and sprinkling?
Baptism typically involves full immersion in water, symbolizing a cleansing and rebirth of the individual's faith.

What does baptism and comformation mean?
It depends on the denomination. In some denominations, baptism is done to babies and in others only to older children or adults. It is done either by immersing the person in water or pouring water over their head. This symbolizes their being reborn in Christ and means that they are officially a Christian. Some denominations do not require baptism and others do. Not all denominations perform confirmation. In denominations that baptize babies, confirmation typically happens later, as an older child or adult. In denominations that baptize older children and adults, confirmation usually takes place shortly after baptism. How confirmation is done and what it means varies from denomination to denomination. It is usually done by the laying on of hands, sometimes after being annointed with oil. It is seen as a sealing of the baptism or as a coming of age ceremony. Some denominations also believe that after being confirmed, a person has the right to receive spiritual gifts and personal guidance from God.
