What is ironic here, is that we are talking about 'sola scriptura', and you are using a criterion (i.e. immersion) that is not specified in Scripture. Unbelievable.

Immersion is absolutely specified in scripture. The Greek word that is transliterated as baptism means immersion. There are specific Greek words for sprinkling and pouring, and they are not used in reference to water baptism in the New Testament.
