Are there any other Christian denomination besides the Catholics that don't baptize by immersion in water, and are you baptized? How?

Yes, many.  I am baptized by full immersion in the NAme of the Father, Son & Holy Spirit as Jesus commanded (Matthew 28:19) but The Presbyterians, Methodists, Christian Reformed, and Anglican Church of England all Christen babies and rarely if ever baptize by full immersion as Jesus commanded.  They usually put a little tiny sprinkle of water on the child or baby's forehead.  They obviously haven't read where Peter told us "Repent and be baptized every one of you for the remission of your sins and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit" (Acts 2:38), because we all know babies cannot repent

The Catholic Church is not Christian.

There are several forms of baptism spoken of in the Word of God besides the one in water. there is the baptism with the Holy Spirit, there is the baptism with the Word of God, there the baptism of repentance, baptism into death. So which one are you referring to specifically?

As far as I know, ELCA Lutherans, Methodists, Episcopalians, Congregationalists and Presbyterians don't do immersion.

The Catholic Church allows baptism by immersion, but usually uses the other approved methods from the viewpoint of simplicity, practicality, and safety. The apostles did not usually baptize by immersion since they lived in a dessert region where the only water available for miles around was often the town well.
