Pentecostals do not sprinkle for baptism. The baptism formula is given in Matthew 28:19 by Jesus to his disciples. Although many take this and repeat it the disciples understood what Jesus' meant and full filled it on the day of Pentecost when Peter said to be baptized in the name of Jesus.(Acts 2:38) Biblical baptism has always been by submersion in the name of Jesus.

Why do Catholics sprinkle instead of full emerging in water?

If you are referring to Baptism, Catholics most definitely do NOT "sprinkle", they either immerse in water or POUR water three times over the head. If the water does not actually run on the head they do not consider that a baptism. I was "sprinkled" in the Methodist Church as an infant. I converted as a teenager and went to the seminary to study to be a priest. The priest who was teaching us about baptism said specifically that you could not sprinkle as the protestants do, or it wouldn't be a valid baptism. I put my hand up and asked about my Methodist baptism as an infant, only to find myself hustled over to the nearest parish later in the day and a proper baptism done!

Are the Pentecostals and Apostolics just a branch of the other?

Pentecostalism and Apostolicism are distinct denominations within Christianity. Pentecostal churches focus on the experience of the Holy Spirit, including speaking in tongues, while Apostolic churches typically emphasize adhering to the teachings and practices of the apostles. While there may be some theological similarities, they are separate branches with unique beliefs and practices.


How do they consecrate babies in a Pentecostal church?

Not all Pentecostals do. The question is impossible to answer definitively, as church practice varies widely among Pentecostals. Some will avoid any consecration, as it resembles the practice of infant baptism. One form I have seen is bringing the child to the front of the church and praying over them during the course of the Sunday service.
