Wordsponge how many people did Jesus baptize with water? NONE... that should be enough said, but to show you how little you know about the word of God and when water baptism became NOTHING.... I will show you with what John and Peter baptized AFTER they were APPOINTED APOSTLES... You do NOT understand the ONE BAPTISM.... Sorry to say water baptism does NOTHING, not even one grain to salvation... NOTHING... Not even when a holy Saint baptize you with water.... Philip was a holy Saint. Acts 8.
Look at Samaria (Acts 8)... they were ALL baptized with water, but NONE was saved.... Not a single one has recveived the Spirit of God after Philip baptized them in the NAME OF JESUS.... not ONE!!!! They were all just water dipped people.... Like ANY water baptized person they were only wet people.... The same dry person that entered the water, came out a wet person from the water.... NOTHING chaned but the clothes and the body from dry to wet....
And here is the thing.... Philip was WAY more powerful than you or any of the water baptizing crocodile Dundee men you think is God's sent baptizers.... God send ONE person to baptize with water.... John the Baptist... No other.... NOT ONE... It is only a Israeli tradition, nothing more.... John's was only a preperation for the REAL BAPTISM... Jesus' and JOHN TOLD YOU THAT...
So look what the Apostles did when they heard the Samarians accepted the Word of God.... Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
Act 8:15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
Act 8:16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
Act 8:17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
Now tell me if you were John and Peter, that used to also baptize with water as Disciples, and then God filled them with the Holy Spirit and appointed them Apostles that can lay hands on people and they receive the Holy Spirit, what would you baptize with if you could also lay hands on people and they recieve the Holy Spirit, will you still baptize with water? NOPE!
