This would be more like the Jewish mikveh from which our baptism comes.
It is believed by some that the baptism of John, then by Jesus and His followers was a three-fold self-immersion

Sam, we Christians make a big deal about "mikveh" and declare it the root of our baptismal practices... but I have a few questions...
Where is mikveh mentioned in the Law?
What is the origin of the Jewish mikveh as we know it?
When did the practice of mikveh begin?
These are very important questions.
