yeah but see whenever baptism is mentioned it’s this
“And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
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.”
Acts 8:36-39 KJV
see my point is there’s one baptism
“There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.”
Ephesians 4:4-6 KJV
And that one baptism is always done in water it’s the same baptism Jesus partook of all his disciples partook of before and after the cross like that person above or there’s folks ot specifically mentions water in baptism
“Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.”
Acts 10:47-48 KJV
If there’s one baptism like it says and it’s well explained to be done in water for remission of sins why are we talking about a second form of “ baptism “ the apostles established baptism in water done in Jesus name for the remission of sins it’s the same baptism God sent before Jesus came forth done in water for remission of sins there is no second is my point Jesus gives the spirit to anyone that believes that’s what John was talking about it isn’t a second baotism just part of the one baptism

They were converted, believers before this happened.
Then it repeats in Acts to whole groups.
Already converted believers gathered, that are empowered by the Holy Spirit... As a group. I believe this is when a church becomes one of God's own. They have the Holy Spirit 'in the midst'
Then there is also water baptism.
