Precious friend(s), Praying this will { Finally, for some }
Scripturally alleviate Most or All of the Confusion of Various water
traditions and rituals. And, If God even requires it today! Amen?

Note: All Scripture references Are KJB! First, an Outline:

(A) The Twelve (12) baptisms Of God’s Law/Covenants/Prophetic Program!
Including The true meaning of water baptism.

Rightly Divided (2 Timothy 2:15) From "Things That DIFFER!" {online}:

(B) God's ONE Baptism For His Body Of CHRIST, Today, Under
HIS Revelation Of The Mystery/PURE GRACE Program!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
E-x-p-a-n-d-e-d:

(A) The Twelve (12) baptisms Of God’s Law/Covenants/Prophetic Program!

1. Noah’s type { figurative } baptism (Genesis_6:13, 7:23; 1_Peter_3:20-21!).
Peter, the apostle to the circumcision [ Jews ] (Galatians_2:8!), writes to the
elect strangers (1_Peter_1:1-2!), And mentions to them that eight people
were “saved by water!”

Did “water baptism save” the Jews ( the circumcision )?

2. Baptism unto Moses (Exodus_14:29; 1_Corinthians_10:2!).
Paul presents Israel’s baptism unto Moses “in the cloud and in the sea!”
Saving baptism or spiritual identification with God’s leader of His people?
------------------------------
(Israel's various washings! Greek: baptismos = Hebrews_9:10!):

3a. Israel’s ceremonial cleansings
(Exodus_19:14, 30:17-21; Leviticus_11:25; Numbers_19:13!).
These cleansing rituals were required under the Mosaic Law
for the cleansing of the people.

3b. Traditional Jewish baptisms
(Matthew_15:2; Mark_7:3; Luke_11:38!).
These washings were Not mandated under the Law,
but were part of Jewish tradition.
======

4. Levitical priesthood baptism (Exodus_29:4;
Leviticus_8:6; Numbers_8:7!). This washing was The Second
Requirement { The First being: "No blemish!" (Leviticus_21:21!) },
in order to become a priest under the Law of Moses!

Is this baptism in any way connected To baptism # 9?

================================------------------------

JESUS’ Various Baptisms:

5. JESUS’ Baptism (Identification With/Immersed) Into the
human race, By HIS Birth! (Matthew_1:18-25; Luke_2:5-20!).

6. JESUS’ water Baptism by John (Matthew_3:13-17;
Mark_1:9-11!). JESUS, Who Knew No sin, Was Baptized by John
to Fulfill All Righteousness! { Identification With confessors of sins,
In Preparation For HIS ( Baptismal ) Death For sin! }

7. JESUS’ Baptism With Fire
(Isaiah_4:4; Malachi_3:3; Matthew_3:11; Luke_3:16!).
JESUS Will Baptize the nation of Israel with fire when they
are in Great Tribulation in the Time Of Jacob’s Trouble!
{ Is this Fiery Judgment also for the “chaff” when separated
from the wheat? (Matthew_3:12; Luke_3:17!) }

8. JESUS’ Baptism Unto Death! (Isaiah_53:12; Matthew_20:22-23;
Mark_10:38-39, 15:28; Luke_12:50 cp John_18:11!).
JESUS’ Third Baptism Which He Fully Accomplished On The Cross, Where
He Was Identified With the sins of Israel, as well as the rest of the world!
{ cp "...He was numbered with the transgressors." (Mark_15:28!). }

Thirteen Bible baptisms - continued:

9. "water baptism of repentance For remission of sin," that John
preached (Before The Cross), And Peter continued (After The Cross!),
to preach! (Matthew_3:5-6; Mark_1:4; Luke_3:3; John_1:31;
Luke_7:29-30; Acts_10:37; Matthew_28:19; Mark_16:16;
Acts_2:38; Acts_22:16; Ezekiel_36:25!).

a) Does this baptism “save” anyone (Luke 7:29-30!)?
-------------------------------------------------
b1) Is this baptism in any way "connected" to baptism # 4?

b2) Wasn't John preparing National Israel for God's Promise For
them “to be a nation of priests unto God" (Exodus_19:6!)?

b3) Was not The Second Requirement for priesthood induction,
Washing? { may require re-review of baptism #4! }.

b4) Did not CHRIST And The Twelve heal everyone in Israel who came to
them, in order to meet “The FIRST Requirement” For the priesthood, that
Of No blemish!? (Matthew_4:24; Acts_5:16 cp Leviticus_21:21!).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
c) Is this baptism for today? IF "you believe this baptism is For us"
Today, then, we have Several More Questions:

c1) Why does NO ONE Today, teach, as John ( Under The LAW! ),
Claimed: it is FOR “making CHRIST Manifest To Israel” (John_1:31!)?

c2) Why does { Almost } No one Today, “Confess their sins,”
when they come to This baptism (Matthew_3:6; Mark_1:5!)?

c3) Why do not All Divided “denominations who water baptize”
today, agree As One, And teach water as John, CHRIST, And The
Twelve ( Under The Law! )
, “taught That water baptism Is For
The Remission Of sins!
” (Mark_1:4; Luke_3:3; Acts_2:38!).

{ instead of each one’s own “symbolic Re-Interpreted Traditions!” }?
----------------------------------------------------------------
Baptism Of Anointing?:

10. Pentecostal Spirit baptism

This is the baptism "With" The Holy Spirit, BY JESUS CHRIST,
From Heaven, Poured Out Upon the believing remnant of Israel,
with signs and powers following!
(Isaiah_44:3; Matthew_3:11; Mark_1:8, 16:17-18;
Luke_24:49; Acts_2:17-18, 38; Acts_8:15-17; Acts_11:16!).

And, is not THIS The Third Requirement For "priesthood induction" =
Anointing? (compare Exodus_29:7; Leviticus_8:10-12!).

a) Is God Performing "This" Baptism On us Today?

b) IF you believe you "are in the priesthood," are you Absolutely
Sure
that you have Met All Three of God's Requirements?
===============================================================================================================

11. Gentile baptism(s) of Cornelius (Acts_10:45-48; 15:9-11!).

Cornelius was baptized With The Holy Spirit as a 'sign' from
God to Peter. Peter subsequently baptizes Cornelius and the other
Spirit-filled Gentiles with water. { "Not" saved by water? }

a) Why Did God "Change The Order" between Acts_2:38 and here?

b) Are These baptisms, Required By God, For us (Gentiles), Today?:

c) Should not All who "think" they are a priest, Triple Check!:
"What God Says"?:

c1) No blemish!

c2) water baptized For The remission of sin!!

c3) Baptized, Anointed By CHRIST, WITH HIS Spirit "Poured
Out on you, for power, signs, And wonders"!
--------------------------------------------

12. Baptism for the dead (1_Corinthians_15:29!).

No sound interpretation (I don’t think) has yet to be offered for this!
Mormons {with Another Jesus} are kept in busy bondage using this
obscure verse, connected with “endless genealogies" #, to supposedly:
Save { by Another Jesus } those already passed in death!

This theory Has No Scriptural Basis, As It Is
“appointed once to die, and after that = Judgment!” ##
All sinners need to make the Correct Decision “in This life,
Before Death Occurs, as God Has no salvation by proxy!,” Correct?

(# Forbidden! = 1_Timothy_1:4; ## death/judgment = Hebrews_9:27!)

Update: found this in the archives: Baptism For the Dead (R Kurth)
========================================================
End of “The Twelve (12) baptisms” Of God’s Law/Covenants/Prophetic Program!

Note: The Twelve "Were Sent" to baptize! (Matthew_28:19!).
--------------------------------------------------------

Rightly Divided (2 Timothy 2:15) From “Things That Differ” (online)

-------------------------------------------------------------
...Paul Was "Not sent" to baptize! (1_Corinthians_1:17!).
