Water baptism is different.

There are seven baptisms mentioned in the nt5; actually eight if onew includes ritual washing in the mikvah. What baptism are you talking about? The one applied to believers is not for converts, as supposed. It is only for those who are inducted as practicing disciples committed to life-long instruction. It is a visible rite, a pledge as a disciple.

SEVEN BAPTISMS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT

BAPTISM OF DISCIPLES OR WATER BAPTISM

Water baptism is a funeral service, also.

I have no idea what the nt5 is.

It should be clear what baptism of which I speak.

I presume you ask from child-like ignorance?

As supposed? That doesn't compute with anything I have posted. If you “supposed” it did, but don't anymore, fine.
Oh, and converts from what to what?

The part of your post I quoted and bolded, do you have a scriptural reference?

Oh and lol@ the link from April Fools Day!

I love a sense of humor...
