Does anyone know what an isometric immersion mean? I think it's related to mapping from a metric space to another.

It's an immersion between Riemannian manifolds which preserves the Riemannian metrics.

Not all churches have enough room for a full immersion baptismal font. In fact, most don't, though some are renovating so that they can. Also, with infant baptism, you can't immerse an infant. It has to be sprinkled. That being said, so long as baptism is performed in the name of the Trinity with full belief in the Triune God, then it is valid, whether it's sprinkling, pouring, or full immersion. A proper baptism should be performed by a priest with blessed water. However, if holy water is not available, and it is a time of emergency, then all Christians above the age of consent can and should baptize those who ask for it. For example, if a Christian and a non-Christian are on a battlefield, and the non-Christian is shot, and it looks like he won't make it, and he asks for baptism, then the Christian has the right and duty to take some water from his cantine and baptize in the name of the Trinity. If the wounded man does make it, then he is under obligation to go to a priest and be confirmed.
