I think you play on words too much. There are plainly different baptisms, and not all baptisms occur at the same time. There is water baptism for repentance, fire baptism whereby a person is imbued with the ability to endure great suffering whether merited or not, to test his faith, and baptism of the Holy Spirit e.g. Pentecost, whereby a person becomes filled with joy. These different types of baptism can occur at different times in our lives. Often water baptism and spirit baptism are coterminous cf the baptism of Christ, who was filled with great joy after the spirit came upon him as a dove, which was also quickly followed by his temptation and suffering, but they can be separated, e.g. where a person is baptized prematurely and only later believes.
If a person has already undergone water baptism and then experiences a baptism of the spirit when he later believes, I think it is wrong to repeat the water baptism for spirit baptism will cure any defects in the water baptism. It is the duty of the church to perform water baptism as much as the duty of the believer to receive it but he should not receive it twice, as once is enough.

Hello,
How are you?
When we make our on rules then that is wrong.
What I am saying is that if we become respectful,
accept the teachers that GOD has given to us and obey then things work out as written.
Our Israelite Apostles wer not Greel Philosophers nor eher they trained by such.
Their teacher was Christ who also worked with them.
Most people are sensible enough to read the Acts of the Apostlesand see fro themselves.
What people cannot face is what is in their mind and what they are reading.
I read a report about a retired R.C. doctor who decided to read the Bible since he now had the time.
After reading some He threw away the book and remarked:
"Either this is not a Christian Book or I am not a Christian."
That is what happens to a person who trusts others to teach him about GOD.
Anyway, the Bible works pout quote well for me.
I comply and there is no debate.
The Spirit does a lovely job.
Targetting me because of what the Bible says is not fair.
Target GOD he can gandle it.
I can guarantee that there are people who will hear.
GOD wants salvation for all but all can restist the Spirit and choose something else.
He knows what is truly in their mind.
Incidentally Paul baptized people a second time.
There are people who are misleading others and I am sure that their sheep will
watch the go to hell without one tear drop.
In my seeking I talked to many people.
Take care.
