The pool in which baptism by full immersion takes place, often behind the pulpit in Neo-Protestant churches.
La baptiști, penticostali, adventiști și alte culte neoprotestante, botezul se face prin scufundare completă în apă, în bazinul din biserică sau într-un râu ori lac. În vechime, baptisteriul era o clădire separată, lângă catedrală (ca la Florența sau Pisa).
