1 Corinthians 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
This is the one baptism which saved me and it did not involved water. Water baptism is a picture symbolizing the death, burial and resurrection of the believer to new life in Christ. Water baptism is a picture of Spirit Baptism as the Lord's Supper pictures our fellowship with Him.
Both baptism and the Lord's Supper are powerful pictures of the gospel, neither saved me or keeps me saved.
"I believe in Spirit baptism (regeneration) for the forgiveness of sins"

Water baptism is a picture symbolizing the death, burial and resurrection of the believer to new life in Christ. What about this?
- Jn 3:5
- Jesus answered (Nicodemus), "Amen, amen, I say to you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit."
