What are the differences between early and modern Christian baptism?
The main difference is that in the beginning they baptized in lakes and rivers, while today, very few baptisms in western cultures are done outdoors. Most are done in baptistries (baptismal pools) in churches. Most scholars agree that the earliest Christian baptisms were by immersion. Later some churches started using the "sprinkling" method. Also, those same churches began "baptizing" infants.
