Baptizo means "immersed" or "dunked" but it does not however say what one is baptized into, it must come from the context, now either all those people were literally dunked or immersed into Moses (and if they were, maybe you could explain to me how they all fit) or it was figurative.
Psalm 50:10 (NKJV)
[SUP]10 [/SUP]For every beast of the forest is Mine, And the cattle on a thousand hills.
was the cattle on the one thousand and first hill not Gods? or was the thousand hills figurative?, Ill go with the figurative.

You might also quote the rest the next verse to get the full context :
1 Peter 3:20-21 (NKJV)
[SUP]20 [/SUP] who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water. [SUP]21 [/SUP] There is also an antitype which now saves us--baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
it is "water" here, the antitype that "now saves us"

Your 100 % right. Except it can also mean overwhelmed, ie, CHrist was overwhelmes with the calamity of his work of the cross (his baptism)
They were literally immersed into moses. He was 100 the head, and they were 100 % under him.
vs, Being dipped (bapto) into moses. which would mean he was not placed 100 % over him.
And context has nothing to do with it.
It says they were batised (immersed into. Place into) moses.
Moses is the subject of the verb baptizo. To make it be anythign else is to take it OUT of context.
I will go with literal.
Yes they were his, And I might add, Still are. He created them.

I had an inmate in Solitary Confinement in the Security Housing Unit (the Hole), that I believe genuinely believed and received Jesus as LORD, and then he requested that I Baptize him. The institution rules did NOT allow any direct contact with inmates in the S.H.U. I got permission to stand outside the shower door, the next time his shower was scheduled, and as I recited the traditional Baptism words, I had him back under the shower stream and come back out. I believe, GOD honored that as fulfilling the obedient act of Baptism. But I still insist that is merely a picture of what had already happened in his HEART, the spiritual immersion into the Body of Christ by the Holy Spirit.
I am not going to argue the baptism of Moses, as I said, we can find 6 or 7 baptism in the entirety of the bible, Eph. 4:5 says there is one saving baptism, so which one is it? Moses?
Okay, who did the rest of the cattle belong to that were on the rest of the hills?
Ill go with figurative, everything belongs to God, we must be stewards of it.

Oh been building a (armored) chicken coop as a buddy of mine gave me 20 to 30 chickens hahaha and seeing how I live in the woods......I had to make it coon, possum, rat, snake, fox proof hahah....weaving chicken wire together with wire is no funnnnnnnnnnn for real!...Don't mind the use of the phrase as I have laughed a few times when I read your usage of it
That's right, disciples baptize us, not Christ, Christ baptized the Apostles and the house of Cornelius, everyone else was baptized by "disciples" by "water" and even the those baptized by Christ (HS baptism) were water baptized (Acts 10:47-48) , the same water baptism that Peter talked about in 1 Peter 3:20-21, the only saving baptism in Eph. 4:5.
Good, so you agree, the thousand hills were figurative
