It's biblical!
Even though some Protestants are adamant that only immersion is a valid baptism, if you delve into the Scriptures there are many scriptures both from the Hebrew and Greek texts which also imply immersion and the Greek Baptizo (strong's 907) not only means to dip but also ritual washing like in the Islamic wudu. Certainly we can argue about root words and usage of words in lieu of other possible words that could be used. But we don't need to. All we need to do is ask the Apostle Paul. He makes it clear in 1 Corinthians 10:1–2
That sprinkling and immersion are both valid. Also to note, most ancient art depicts baptism as being poured over while standing in water as opposed to immersion.
