hate to break this to you - the baptism of John is not Christian baptism, so to say that is water and what Paul taught is Spirit baptism is wrong, wrong, wrong. read Acts 19 and you will see John’s baptism is not Christian baptism.
there are not TWO baptisms, as Paul tells us in Ephesians 4.
Paul did not have the Holy Spirit before he was blinded, so having the scales fall from his eyes is not evidence he received the Holy Spirit. Acts 22:16 tells us when he washed away his sins and therefore received the Holy Spirit.
Acts 9 says: ““Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road by which you were coming, has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” Verse 17
Notice: “you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” Ananias expected regaining sight and the filling of the Holy Spirit to be linked.
The next words are: “And immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he regained his sight...”
Only THEN does it say, “...and he got up and was baptized; 19 and he took food and was strengthened.”
It is true that is does not expressly say that Paul’s filling occurred when his sight was regained, but that would be the normal expectation from what Ananias said. If not then, then you could as easily link it to eating “he took food and was strengthened” as to baptism.
However, there is absolutely no doubt but that there is a baptism of the Spirit, and that the baptism of Jesus is in the Holy Spirit. All 4 gospels and Acts say that Jesus would baptize with the Holy Spirit.
There is also no doubt that the baptism of the Holy Spirit qualifies one for water baptism: “Then Peter answered, 47 “Surely no one can refuse the water for these to be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we did, can he?” and shortly later, “And I remembered the word of the Lord, how He used to say, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’ 17 Therefore if God gave to them the same gift as He gave to us also after believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could stand in God’s way?”
Please notice what Peter said:
“And I remembered the word of the Lord, how He used to say, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’ 17 Therefore if God gave to them the same gift as He gave to us also after believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could stand in God’s way?”
When were they baptized in the Holy Spirit, per the prediction of Jesus? “...after believing in the Lord Jesus Christ”.
You can claim there is only one baptism, but if so, then the baptism that counts - the baptism of Jesus, by the mouth of Jesus Christ himself - is the baptism in the Spirit.
If you wish to argue, be prepared to argue with Jesus Christ on that Great Day. Jesus Christ and Peter have already told you the truth: “And I remembered the word of the Lord, how He used to say, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’”
You don’t have to like it. You can ignore it.In this life. Only you & God know if you have been baptized in the Holy Spirit or not. It is not automatic with water baptism. “That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit...The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
“But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.”
