Jesus taught that John baptized with water but that someday his followers would baptize with holy spirit.

Paul teaches of there being only one baptism.

So is it water or spirit?

Did John the Baptist “Baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit”??

Of course not, since the concept of the Trinity could not possibly have been known by John, at that time.

Your question is silly.

John’s baptisms were only a precursor of Christian baptism, as the Resurrection had not occurred.
