To: one Lord one faith one baptism
1. Acts 8 speaks of baptism, not water baptism.

"Look! Water! What prevents me from being baptized?"

ἰδοὺ ὕδωρ, τί κωλύει με βαπτισθῆναι; Literally, "what hinders me from being dipped or immersed?" Dipped or immersed in what? ... What is the closest thing grammatically that the eunich can be dipped in? ... answer ... THE WATER!!!! Therefore water dipped, water immersed, water baptized. QED.

2. Acts 19 shows there is One Christian Baptism, the one commanded by Christ in Matthew 28 and the one that places us into Christ. Acts 19 shows us the baptism of John is not Christian baptism.

So now your own faulty logic has nullified your own argument at last ...

The Ephesians 4.5 passage says nothing about "Christian baptism" ... it says only baptism.
