To: one Lord one faith one baptism
the moment you are baptized(1), the Holy Spirit baptizes(2) you into the Body of Christ. there, that is much better! Tell me how you are not describing 2 baptisms here?

You don't seem to understand regeneration. "For BY ONE SPIRIT WE ARE BAPTIZED INTO ONE BODY." It is the Holy Spirit doing the baptism. He is performing it. He is what? SPIRIT. So His baptism is what? SPIRITUAL BAPTISM.

no, if you understood the Christian Faith, you would understand there is only one baptism. again i invite you to provide chapter and verse that says there are two baptisms or that say anything about “water baptism” you do get your beliefs from the Bible, correct?
a mistake a lot of people make who are not aware of what the Christian Faith teaches, is assuming the Holy Spirit works indpendently from or in opposition to, The Church. No, the Scriptures are clear, the Holy Spirit works thru the Church, as Jesus promised to send the Holy Spirit to lead the Church and as i mentioned earlier, He commanded the Church to teach and baptize in Matthew 28. I am happy to share the Christian Faith with you and others who may be finding this out for the first time.
