you know water Babtism was going on in public for the first time by John before the cross, before reborn ever came to be, and John said it straight that his Babtism wasfor repentance and Peter confirmed this in 1 peter that water Babtism is a good conscious before God but not for washing away our sins. And he talked of the eight people saved by water you know the flood, but they were never dunked they floated atop, anyway I am not against water babtism, but I am most importantly for Spiritual from God Babtism as Acts 1:5 states
Acts 1:5for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
Ephesians 4:5one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
Now since the world here has made water babtism most important and God says holy ghost babtism is what brings life and did at Pentecost and the ones that had not recieved Holy Ghost needed to and Paul as well as others showed thme thus and di Babtize them with the Holy Ghost, I see no where it being said we recieved the Holy Ghost and thus being asked well did you recieve water babtism NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There4 is swuch a mix up on the truth today and the enemy came to still, kill, and destroy, but Christ came to give life and this life was not yet known untilthe resurrection

[h=3]The Work of the Holy Spirit[/h][SUP]5 [/SUP]“But now I go away to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’ [SUP]6 [/SUP]But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. [SUP]7 [/SUP]Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. [SUP]8 [/SUP]And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: [SUP]9 [/SUP]of sin, because they do not believe in Me; [SUP]10 [/SUP]of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; [SUP]11 [/SUP]of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
[SUP]12 [/SUP]“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. [SUP]13 [/SUP]However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. [SUP]14 [/SUP]He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. [SUP]15 [/SUP]All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.
[h=3]John 3[/h]New King James Version (NKJV)
[h=3]The New Birth[/h]3 There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. [SUP]2 [/SUP]This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.”
[SUP]3 [/SUP]Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
[SUP]4 [/SUP]Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?”
[SUP]5 [/SUP]Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. [SUP]6 [/SUP]That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. [SUP]7 [/SUP]Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ [SUP]8 [/SUP]The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
[SUP]9 [/SUP]Nicodemus answered and said to Him, “How can these things be?”
[SUP]10 [/SUP]Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know these things? [SUP]11 [/SUP]Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness. [SUP]12 [/SUP]If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? [SUP]13 [/SUP]No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven. [SUP]14 [/SUP]And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, [SUP]15 [/SUP]that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. [SUP]16 [/SUP]For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. [SUP]17 [/SUP]For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
[SUP]18 [/SUP]“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. [SUP]19 [/SUP]And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. [SUP]20 [/SUP]For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. [SUP]21 [/SUP]But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”
[h=3]John the Baptist Exalts Christ[/h][SUP]22 [/SUP]After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea, and there He remained with them and baptized. [SUP]23 [/SUP]Now John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there. And they came and were baptized. [SUP]24 [/SUP]For John had not yet been thrown into prison.
[SUP]25 [/SUP]Then there arose a dispute between some of John’s disciples and the Jews about purification. [SUP]26 [/SUP]And they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified—behold, He is baptizing, and all are coming to Him!”
[SUP]27 [/SUP]John answered and said, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven. [SUP]28 [/SUP]You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent before Him.’ [SUP]29 [/SUP]He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore this joy of mine is fulfilled. [SUP]30 [/SUP]He must increase, but I must decrease. [SUP]31 [/SUP]He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all. [SUP]32 [/SUP]And what He has seen and heard, that He testifies; and no one receives His testimony. [SUP]33 [/SUP]He who has received His testimony has certified that God is true. [SUP]34 [/SUP]For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure. [SUP]35 [/SUP]The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand. [SUP]36 [/SUP]He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”
