I can see you have had enough of me and that's fine. I hope there are no hard feelings. None here. My heart would like to leave you with this. Please continue to look into water baptism (in the name of Jesus) with an open mind. Consider this, IF water baptism is how our sins are washed away (Acts 22:16) and how we are added to Christ (Acts 2:41, Gal. 3:27), don't you think Satan is going to do his best to pervert and do away with water baptism.
One can't be taught baptism wrong and be baptized right. In Acts 19 we see the truth of that. At the end of Acts 18 Apollos preaches Jesus accurately but he only knows John's baptism. Later, ch. 19, Paul meets some of these disciples and asks them did they receive the HS. When they tell him no, notice the question he asks. If the HS does the baptizing upon belief, Paul never would have asked this question.
Also, an example to consider about the power of water baptism. Did the water cleanse Naaman of his leprosy.
God Bless

Your problem before God isn't physical, but spiritual. Just as physical circumcision signified the circumcision of the heart, water baptism signifies our death and resurrection with Christ.
The basic principle is found in Romans 1...the unseen things of God are known by the things He has made.
