greetings to everyone.

I just wanted to continue to look at baptism. Is it water baptism or a " dry baptism".I think so far it has been proven by scripture that baptism " in the name of Jesus" is water baptism. Acts 10:47-48 and that baptism in the name of Jesus is something that has to be done in order to BELONG to Christ. 1 Cor.1:12-13. So the conclsion so far is that in orger to belong to Christ you must be baptized in his name and that baptism is water baptism, not Holy Spirit baptism.

The next scripture to look at is Acts 8 and the conversion of the eunuch and begin in verse 35. " Philip opened his mouth, and beginning with this scripture he told him the good news of Jesus".So now the question has to be asked, since Philip preached "Jesus" to him, how did he know about Water baptism? for in verse 36 he says, "Look here is WATER what is to prevent my being baptized?" Conclusion would be to preach " Jesus" includes preaching water baptism. Why?

Jesus himself commanded it in Mark 16:16 and Matthew 28:19. Now the question was asked, " how do we know this is water baptism?"

1) Holy Spirit baptism was a promise, this is a command.
2) HS baptism was done only by Jesus, this baptism was something man did. The preaching was done by man and so was the baptism.
3) as Matthew 28 states in was to be done " in the name" and we have already shown this to be water baptism. This of course ties in with Luke 24:47 where it states, " remission of sins to be preached in my name would begin in Jerusalem."
4) All examples in Acts are water baptism and we have shown water baptism in 1Cor1:12-13 and it is also mentioned in 1 Peter 3:21
5) lastly in Acts 11:14 it states that Peter was to tell them " words by which to be saved." None of those "words" mention HS baptism, but they do mention "water baptism" Acts10:47-48

Again it was stated that spirit baptism remits sins....I am still waiting for the proof.
