I think I prefer the warm baptismal I was baptized in. (I was a fundamentalist baptist for a short time)

Though cold water can feel good on a hot day.

Our church doesn't have its own building yet. We have baptized in a swimming pool this summer. I think we'll need to repair to a sister church this winter!

Good point. If one believed in baptismal regeneration, water bombers would be the way to go!
