Are there one or two baptisms?
There are existing three main types of baptism in Christianity, and the scriptures do not place a mandate as to which type must be used. The word baptizo in the Greek means to wash and has no implied meaning of immersion.The three types are: immersion, pouring, and sprinkling (in order of most water to least water used.)The practices of sprinkling began in areas where water was limited or unsafe for baptism by immersion. While immersion is ideal considering the metaphors used in scripture to describe it, there is no requirement that one must be baptized a certain way. Those who mandate immersion baptism do so based on inference, not Biblical mandate.
Can people who have not received Baptism from the priest in the church go to heaven?
Yes. There are two other ways to go to heaven. Baptism of Desire and Baptism of Blood. The first way is the Baptism of desire. Baptism of desire is when someone is sorry for their sins and cooperates with God's grace by trying to please him as best they know how to. The next way is the Baptism of blood. Baptism of blood is when someone gives up their life in martyrdom to Jesus. This shows that they have faith in Jesus and were saved by him.
What is the origin of sprinkling in baptism practices?

What does liturgy of baptism mean?
God chose immersion in water because it is a very powerful way of showing us that our sins must be forgiven. Believers realise that they need saving from sin and require God's grace. They go under the water in baptism, and die to an old way of life. They come up out of the water to a new life. In baptism, believers identify with the death of Jesus Christ, who died for us. Baptism removes all sin (even the original sin committed by Adam and eve).
Do some Catholics argue with other Catholics about baptism by immersion?
No, they do not. The Catholic church received the seven sacraments from Jesus and the apostles in the first century and has pretty much administered all of them the same way - with some minor variations due to circumstances including the time and place in which they are done. Baptism can always be done by immersion, but it is far more common to pour water over the head three times, I should guess just from convenice.

What are the different symbols and their meanings that are used in Islamic baptism?
There is no "baptism" in Islam. The word itself is a Christian word which means, "immersion" and refers to one entering the Christian church/faith. Islam asks that to become a Muslim, one must only recite the "shahaddah" or "testament" which states: "I testify that there is no god but God and Muhammad is the apostle of God". This is similar to the Protestant concept of "asking Jesus into your heart" to become a Christian. This is the only way to become a Muslim and once a person recites this, usually in Arabic, and their own spoken language, they are considered part of the "Ummah", or community.
