Speaking of the baptism of the Holy Spirit:Ephesians 4:5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
Could baptism of the Holy Spirit be the one baptism referred to in Ephesians 4:5 of which baptism of water is just one of many signs of that baptism?
If the one baptism in Ephesians 4:5 is water baptism then what is Holy Spirit baptism? They are not the same are they? Concerning salvation, Holy Spirit baptism must happen before water baptism, right? Unless it is a special baptism for a special purpose which may happen at any time God sees fit.
First Corinthians 12:13 for we are all baptized by one Spirit into one body whether Jews are Greeks, slave or free and we are all given the one Spirit to drank.
Could it be that our minds are so attuned to thanking of baptism as relating to water that we are missing a simple idea that it may have to do primarily with spiritual baptism most of the time, with no reference to water baptism whenever? Are we looking at it from a physical aspect rather than spiritually, the same way we tend to do the rest of Scripture?
