These two gospel count specifically state that Jesus came up out of the water.
Matthew 3:13-17
13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Mark 1:9–11
9 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.
10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:
11 And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

baptizō
bap-tid'-zo
From a derivative of G911; to make whelmed (that is, fully wet); used only (in the New Testament) of ceremonial ablution, especially (technically) of the ordinance of Christian baptism: - baptist, baptize, wash.
Baptism is to be done by full immersion in water.
We are wholly immersed in the Spirit so why would we not be wholly immersed in water.
We do not do things half way when living for the Lord like when we are to be Christlike there is no half way about it but you are to be wholly Christlike.
Wholly immersed in water.
Wholly immersed in the Holy Spirit.
Wholly holy.
Wholly study the word of God.
Wholly worship the Lord.
Wholly deny the ways of the world.
There is no half way living for the Lord because half does not cut it for even the evil know to do good.

I am certainly not looking for an argument, I don't need any kind of affirmation. There are a number of Biblical teachings (like grace, security, the Holy Spirit, the church, etc.) of which one lacking understanding lends oneself to other teaching that will not be understood. But if one gains understanding of these foundational teachings, then one may build onto them other teachings that may be understood.
In other words, if one understands that the Holy Spirit does not baptize anyone, one may better understand exactly what did happen on the day of Pentecost, etc. But if one doesn't understand this, they are not likely to understanding other teaching about the Holy Spirit.

Acts 2:3 states, "And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them."
Cloven tongues (divided languages) rested on all present, not just the apostles. The "divided languages" looked in appearance like fire, but no actual fire was present. Just as there was no wind, but a sound as of a rushing mighty wind.

As often happens with two that do not agree, it's difficult to walk together as long as their tendency to talk past each other persists. I had thought for a minute we might've been walking in step but now I'm not even sure we're on the same train.
