Yes.
Like the Anglican Church and Roman Catholics, they practice baptism in the name of the Trinitarian God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, for both adults and infants. In the case of infant baptism, the commitment to Christ is made by godparents or sponsors. When the person baptised is then old enough (as a teenager or adult) then he/she may, if they wish to make that commitment for themselves, undergo a confirmation of their baptism through a confirmation or membership service where they dedicate themselves to follow christ and to do God's will. Adults are also baptised but here they make the promises themselves and do not necessarily undergo any confirmation rite.The Methodists, Anglicans and Roman Catholics differ from the Baptist Church as this Church tends to baptise adults only, and baptise them by full immersion.
Additional Answer
I was raised as a Methodist and baptized as an infant in my parent's church. Of course I have no recollection of this event and, certainly, had no understanding of church doctrine at that time.
This is NOT the way The Bible portrays baptism. In the first century Christian congregation (as found in the book of Acts), a person was only baptized when he or she believed and had a full understanding of basic Bible truths.
Therefore, infant baptism by sprinkling (as it is performed by the United Methodist Church) is totally unscriptural. It does not constitute a person's willing dedication to unconditionally do God's will forever as publicly symbolized by immersion (baptism).

Why don't Methodists re-baptize?
Methodists believe that one Baptism is enough. They believe that the effectiveness of Baptism is based on God's work in a person's life, not on that person's understanding of Baptism or ability to make a decision for Christ at the time of their baptism. That is also why Methodists allow infant Baptism.
