In Christianity the water for baptism is holy as Christians believe that the holy spirit is channeled through the priest to water making it holy during baptism and that the one after baptism is reborn pure from any sin.

Water is rather considered for the fact, mentioned in Quran, that every thing alive in our planet is composed of water and could not sustain life without water. In addition, water is important for ritual worships of Wudu and Ghosl (minor and major ablution)

The Rite of Baptism in most Christian churches involves Holy (blessed) Water and Holy (blessed) Water. Some denominations use springs or streams, or even a bathtub filled with water--these are blessed by the clergy just before the Baptism. Full immersion (indoor or outdoor) for adult Baptism is practiced in many denominations; other denominations use a Baptismal font (especially for infant Baptism) or sprinkling of Holy Water on the person's forehead.For example, a disabled child or bedridden adult would not be denied Baptism just because they cannot be dunked or immersed in water. The Rite of Baptism is not to exclude, but to include people into the Family of God.
