don't forget matt 28.
water baptism is a command, we are to baptize all new disciples.
Just remember, Baptism in water will not wash one sin away,

{1} Arise…
{2}AND {meaning plus / in addition to}
{3} BE BAPTIZED…,
{4} and
{5}wash away…. thy sins,
{6} calling on the name of the Lord
Act 2:38 Then Peter said unto them,
{1} Repent,…
{2} AND
{3} BE BAPTIZED….every one of you in the name of Jesus
{4} FOR the
{5} remission of sins,
{6} AND
ye shall
{7} RECEIVE....the gift of the Holy Ghost {does not say "baptism of the Holy Ghost}
There is only ONE BAPTISM according to Ephesians 4:4-5 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, ONE BAPTISM….. and that ONE BAPTISM is water BECAUSE it is the ONLY BAPTISM we can OBEY.Act 8:38-39 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both INTO THE WATER, both Philip and the eunuch; and he BAPTIZED him. And when they were come up OUT of THE WATER, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
The Eunuch only received the baptism in WATER......not the Holy Spirit because baptism in water is the ONLY baptism we can
OBEY
The Eunuch is a prime example of the ONE baptism we are told about in Ephesians.
Just some things to ponder......have a great rest of your day
