Adino,
I'm will be coming back to this thread but in answer to this post. NT water baptism is done where there is water "Look here is water, what doth hinder me to be baptized" Enough water to be immersed. I was baptized in a bathtub and came out feeling clean on the inside.
The Mikvah is an interesting ritual but not scriptural. I've never read about it in the Bible. So it must be a tradition of man and not a law of God. Therefore all the requirements of the Mikvah aren't necessary.
