[one Lord one faith one baptism]

7 baptisms in the NT?

i never counted them, but after Jesus commanded baptism in Matthew 28, there is only ONE BAPTISM.

this baptism is for:

1. remission of sins
2. receiving the Holy Spirit
3. being placed in Christ.

[John Leland 1789]

Because you have it locked into your mind by your religion that when you see the word, "baptism," your mind automatically thinks, "WATER."

There are baptisms that are not into water, and there are water baptisms in the NT that have no connection to the Body of Christ. The "one baptism" in Eph. 4:5 is not water, and is necessary in the context for "unity in the Spirit."

Context is everything.

There are indeed 7 baptisms in the NT. There are THREE baptisms listed in ONE verse of Scripture: Matthew 3:11. John the Baptist speaking: "I indeed BAPTIZE you with WATER UNTO REPENTANCE: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall BAPTIZE you WITH THE HOLY GHOST, AND with FIRE."
