How does anyone come to know God? Is it not by divine revelation? Remember when Jesus asked His disciples, "Who do you say that I am?" And when Peter answered, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God." ...
44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

John 14:6
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
___________
John 10:27-28
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

acts 13
37 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.
38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
40 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;
41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.
Certainly there is water baptism and Spirit baptism, which are two "distinct" baptisms (Matthew 3:11; Acts 11:16). Some people hold the view that Jesus was referring to Spirit baptism in Mark 16:16, yet regardless, even if Jesus was referring to water baptism, it doesn't prove the necessity of water baptism for salvation, as I pointed out.
Baptism itself means to make fully wet. Spirit baptism is of fire. Lightning the Greek says. Tongues are languages not naturally acquired. Pays to look at the Greek. 
Fire wouldn't mean wet. But, interestingly it can happen while wet. You'd think one would be electrocuted.
facetious of course.
Why would one not want both? And I've forgotten what the topic is while looking.

My mother used to say to us kids, "If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times!" Of course, that was an exaggeration she was making, and one of my sisters used to do a hilarious impersonation of our dearly beloved mother saying that. Still, this Biblical truth has probably been said thousands, if not millions, of times, and it will bear repeating until the end of the age when Jesus returns

The contention, however, is on the point of whether or not water baptism is what saves. Scripture is clear we are saved by grace through faith in the shed righteous blood of Jesus Christ upon the cross, where He bore the sins of the world due to His great and everlasting love for us, that we may be reconciled to the Father, and attain to life ever after. Thank you Jesus!
First,That is because this is good and pleases God out Savior, he wants all men to be saved ... KJV1Timothy2:3-5 3. For this good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior;4. Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the men Christ Jesus; Second, His sheep should follow his steps KJVJohn10:4 4. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
