“Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.”
John 3:5 KJV
This is a group of gentile believers and the apostles peter
“And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead. To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.”
Acts 10:42-44, 47-48
yes of course they taught baptism.
To a group of Jews
“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”
Acts 2:38
indeed they taught baptism the apostle
Paul’s conversion to the church
“And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.”
Acts 9:17-18 KJV
your example shows how he knew , he was instructed by Philip to be baptized . Notice all the people in the area were being baptized ? It’s based on the prophecies of the o.t. And coming of the messiah it’s why they were all getting baptized for remission of sins .
it’s an act of faith to get baptized, we do it based on Gods word that says “ if you believe and are baptized I will remit all your sins “
faith is to hear and believe and so act on Gods word there’s no change in baptism Paul in Romans chapter 6 gives us a deeper understanding about baptism including us in Jesus death for sin .
since the beginning God has said what man is to do , and then for awhile they do it and prosper like he said , but then we start saying “ does that apply ? Is that really the truth ? Does it really
Mean what it says ? Do I actually need to believe and do that ?
Believing and getting baptized has an awefully Powerful word with it.
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
Mark 16:15-16 KJV
if we don’t understand it , we should just believe and do what the lord is saying it is trustworthy

2. Lay aside your predisposition.
Since you have not, while asking me to, your stance is hypocritical.
That is simply an observation.
But since it reflects poorly on you, you call it an ad hom.
Furthermore, since what you put forth as my beliefs was false, you were patronizing and attempting to insult me.

I like you, but I don't understand why we cannot communicate. Lets start again from scratch...
Water baptism is a physical ritual that is not required for becoming born again. It is, like Holy Communion, something we do to remember what He has done for us. It is usually a one time thing, but it happens after Salvation.
Receiving the Holy Spirit is a spiritual event that happens at the same time we are Born Again.
God bless you.

There is nowhere in the writings of Paul where he makes baptism necessary for salvation. That would not only contradict the Gospel, but all the epistles of Paul. There is nothing supernatural about ordinary H2O. The "clean water" which God speaks about is His Word -- the Gospel (1 Peter 1:23-25).
EZEKIEL 36:25-27:
THE SUPERNATURAL NEW BIRTH AFTER THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
