The very first mention of baptism in scripture is where JOhn baptizes in the Jordan river...in water.
It is a specific rule of hermeneutics (called the law of first mention) that the mention of that word ever afterward is the same as the first mention of the word; unless it is specifically specified otherwise.
So, when scripture speaks of baptism, it is speaking of water baptism unless it specifically mentions that it is speaking of Spirit-baptism.
And as for your first statement, which I enlarged above, that is contradicted by Acts 22:16.

The sky is blue, water is wet, and no matter what? you ain't got it right yet
