To answer your question, all of Christendom believes in baptism. Not just the Roman Catholic and Lutheran denominations.
Tsc1976ers-
"Is infant baptism practiced?
No. Only those who have reached the "age of accountability" are accepted for baptisms. It is pointed out that the examples given in the New Testament are always of those who have heard the gospel preached and have believed it. Faith must always precede baptism, so only those old enough to understand and believe the gospel are considered fit subjects for baptism."
Care to back up the concept of "Age of Accountability" with Scripture? And who are you to say that God can not work faith in an infant by the Word and the Sacrament of Baptism? I would like to point out that Jesus commands his disciples in Matthew 28:19-20 to Baptize and Teach. Not the other way around. Faith PROCEEDS the hearing of the Word in every case in the New Testament and there is no indications in the Scriptures that you have to fully understand the Gospel in order have faith.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS or Mormon) uses baptismal fonts. They follow Christ's example of baptism by immersion, and only baptize someone if they are old enough to make the choice (age 8 and above). Since baptism represents burying your old self and rising as a new person, all fonts are below ground level - you step down a few steps to enter the water. Lakes or ponds are also okay to use as long as there is enough water to be baptized by full immersion.

I am a member of the church of Christ, we don't baptize babies.

Faith must always precede baptism, so only those old enough to understand and believe the gospel are considered fit subjects for baptism.
Why does the church of Christ baptize only by immersion?
The word baptize comes from the Greek word "baptizo" and literally means, "to dip, to immerse, to plunge." In addition to the literal meaning of the word, immersion is practiced because it was the practice of the church in apostolic times. Still further, only immersion conforms to the description of baptisms as given by the apostle Paul in Romans 6:3-5 where he speaks of it as a burial and resurrection.
