When did Cornelius enter into Christ? Was there water used before he entered, and since he was in what was the purpose of the water?
While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
Act 10:45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Act 10:46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
Act 10:47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
Again without editing a single word..... When did Cornelius enter into the Holy Ghost (Christ Jesus) and why the water if he was ALREADY in Christ.... Come on this is from the Bible. Show me NOE verse that says we MUST be baptized IN WATER.... Just one verse....

Any sola scripturist has the freedom to impose his own interpretation/authority upon a text and make it mean just what he needs for his own purpose.
But man's interpretation does not change the meaning of scripture as it has always been understood from the beginning.
Just look around you now and history over the last 500 years. Sola scripturist still have not understood scripture after 500 years.
And disputing a practice, clearly taught in scripture, which has never been disputed or had a false teaching regarding it since it was instituted in the early Church by the Apostles.
