i thought you were someone who accepts the Scriptures as authoritative, correct?
i will proceed on that assumption.
Ephesians 4 is very clear, there is one baptism.
so when you ask the question, is the baptism of Jesus one of water or spirit, that implies there are two baptisms, which violates Ephesians 4.
i have searched the Scriptures and can’t find the terms “water baptism” or “spirit baptism” anywhere.
can we agree on that?
There is only one baptism that makes you a Christian.
Is it water baptism? Or is it baptism (immersion) by Jesus in the Holy Spirit?
“You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.” - Romans 8
There are 7 ‘one’s in Ephesians 4. How many of those ‘ones’ refer to a physical act or being? ZERO.
“’And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh,and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
and your young men shall see visions,
and your old men shall dream dreams;
even on my male servants and female servants
in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and they shall prophesy.
And I will show wonders in the heavens above
and signs on the earth below,
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke;
the sun shall be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood,
before the day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day.
And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.’” - Acts 2
“But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” John 4
