A once evangelical ritual has definitely changed over the years into something much different for many churches around the US. The baptisms we see are much rowdier and a little less formal, more of a celebration and 'plunge party,' as some would say. The one thing that hasn't changed is the use of water.
The typical extravagant built-in baptisteries are also not as practical now. People are using a day of baptisms as an event rather than a presentation, so having a baptistery that you can move front and center is ideal for most churches. Built-in baptisteries have also been known to have many expensive problems, such as leaks and broken parts that are hard and costly to replace. In other cases, some churches do not have the option of building a baptistery due to many modern-day churches making their home in buildings that are leased or had another purpose before being made into a place of worship.
