***There aren’t two baptisms, only one.***

Really!
I know Paul said ONE FAITH, One LORD, ONE BAPTISM. So which is it?
This one? Mark 1: 4
John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.

John: 33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.

THIS ONE? Matthew 3:

13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. 14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? 15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.

16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:

This one? Matthew 20:

22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.

Maybe this one,
Luke: 50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!

This one? 3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

So we see a Water for remission of sin by JOHN,
The Holy Spirit baptism as a dove,
A future baptism of death on the cross.
The baptism of the believer into Christ.

“to baptize,” primarily a frequentative form of bapto, “to dip,” was used among the Greeks to signify the dyeing of a garment, or the drawing of water by dipping a vessel into another, etc. Plutarchus uses it of the drawing of wine by dipping the cup into the bowl (Alexis, 67) and Plato, metaphorically, of being overwhelmed with questions (Euthydemus, 277 D).

We also use other terms such as to be overwhelmed, such as the baptism of war, or blood (of the Lamb).

It's this one:

"And he said, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into John's baptism. And Paul said, John baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people that they should believe on him that should come after him, that is, on Jesus. And when they heard this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied." - Acts 19:3-6

It's this one:

"But when they believed Philip preaching good tidings concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women." - Acts 8:12

It's this one:

"And Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached unto him Jesus. And as they went on the way, they came unto a certain water; and the eunuch saith, Behold, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said, If thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him. And when they came up out of the water...." - Acts 8:35-39

It's this one:

"Can any man forbid the water, that these should not be baptized" - Acts 10:47

It's this one:

"And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on his name."

It's this one:

"He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved" - Mark 16:16
