Ok let me tell you what I KNOW. I was raised in a totally catholic environment. around age 12 (give or take - I don't recall the age) I was in my room just sitting there. My childhood was NOT a good one (just sayin'). Suddenly Yeshua told me loud and clear; I AM with you always. THAT'S ALL I needed. I followed HIM continually since then. So NO, I don't believe you absolutely HAVE TO be baptized with water. Yeshua has NEVER left me. I may have turned my back on Him, but HE ALWAYS was there with me. PERIOD.
I LOVE YOU LORD!
AND I LIFT MY VOICE TO WORSHIP YOU!
OH MY SOUL REJOICE!
TAKE JOY, MY LORD, IN WHAT I SAY, MAY IT BE A SWEET, SWEET SOUND TO YOUR EAR!!!

I agree, people need to hear the word. For it is the word that has the ability to shatter deception as nothing else can.
"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." Heb 4:12
And obeying the gospel is not possible without first hearing what is required from the word of God:
"But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Rom 10:16-17

“The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, Which shall prepare thy way before thee.
John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
And there went out unto him all the land of Judæa, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.”
Mark 1:1-2, 4-5 KJV
“I ( John the Baptizer sent from God ) indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear:
he ( the lord ) shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:”
Matthew 3:11 KJV
Seems there is a water baptism that man performs for repentance and remission of sins and then there’s a promise that the messiah would later baptize them with fire and the Holy Ghost
“And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.”
Acts 2:3-4
We don’t need water and water we need water and spirit
John said it
“I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.”
Mark 1:8 KJV
Jesus did it as an example
“Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, and the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.”
Luke 3:21-22 KJV
He said it too
“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
at he apostles kept doing it
“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, ( water )
and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. ( spirit )
For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.”
Acts 2:38-39 KJV
“Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.”
Acts 8:35-39 KJV
No brother I’m like the eunuch I just got baptized in Jesus name for repentance and remission of sins , and trusted Jesus to do what he promised to do and what John said he would and what he did then and will always do for believers
water and spirit is one baptism the church has doctrine that’s baptism for remission of sins in Jesus name it’s an act of faith pertaining to Jesus dying for our sins and being raised back to life. There’s no reason to get baptized twice ….Jesus promised to give the spirit like John foretold
