What’s curious is most people who have heretical beliefs on baptism, claim there is something called “water baptism” and then a separate “spirit baptism”, even though Paul insists there is only one baptism

Yet the bible lists 7 baptisms...So you just throw out the 7 baptisms??? Count them irrelevant???

While there were 7 baptisms only one has to do with the spiritual body of Christ, which is the church...

These same folks use unbiblical terminology such as water baptism and spirit baptism when the Holy Spirit thru Paul only refers to baptism.

Seems you guys just can't stand the scriptures...John baptized with water...Jesus did not...Jesus baptized with the Holy Ghost...

If John baptized with water, it is water baptism...Is that too hard to figure out??? If Jesus did not baptize with water (and he didn't), it is not water baptism because no water is involved...

1Co_10:2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

Hey, these guys got baptized in the cloud...No water...And they got baptized in the water but nobody got wet...Baptism does not mean water...(2Tim 2:15)

.John baptized with water...Jesus did not

Brother, a little caution is in order here. There is good reason to believe that the Disciples' Baptism, a baptism of immersion of water, was not John's baptism unto repentance, but was employed the same way as John's. My opinion is that Jesus did baptize at least the Twelve into His especially chosen closest group of students (Jn. 3:22), and maybe a few more before His ministry expanded and the number of secondary applying to be disciples became unmanageable by only one person.

He did teach at least the Twelve Disciples to baptize other followers, using immersion as the vehicle of induction into commitment to a life of instruction (Jn. 4:1-2). Moreover, He baptizes not only in The Spirit (Pentecost, Cornelius). The symbol of fire is by some denominations connected with Spirit baptism, thinking that it hints of zealousness, but that is wrong. He also will baptize with fire, as the creator of the Lake of Fire; and the Devil, his angels, and unsaved humans will be its subjects.

You might want to study a dissertation on the seven baptisms that one earlier post of mine links to, where you can get a little better grasp of the subject before committing your opinions on it to writing.

Just a FRiendly suggestion.
