Notice the eunuch said what prevents me from being baptized, not what prevents me from being water baptized.
Again, no one ever refers to water baptism in the Bible, it is always called just baptism.
Why? Because there is only one baptism, not two.
Also, notice Philip didn’t say since you have been spiritually baptized, you can now be water baptized. Philip baptized him, because up to that point, both he and the eunuch realized he had not yet been baptized.
When you let the Scriptures speak, it really isn’t that hard.

“Notice the eunuch said what prevents me from being baptized, not what prevents me from being water baptized.
Again, no one ever refers to water baptism in the Bible, it is always called just baptism.”

Again, even a eunuch wanted to follow Christ in baptism after salvation.
Again, even a eunuch knew it involved water.
Again, God mentioned the water 4 times.
Again, if Scriptures state it, a new believer testifies to it, and a leader of the church performs it - all in water - there is nothing wrong with stating what it is... Baptism in water.

It is the Catholic teaching that confuses baptism with water and baptism by the Holy Spirit. You will have to work through the scriptures, instead of repeating what you were taught.

Best.
