you keep quoting water baptism did not save them.
Which is very miss leading for people.
Because what you should be saying is water baptism is a part of being saved.
And you keep dropping the feelings bombs by being to authoritative. Which is only going to promote jumped-up nerves

The Holy Spirit doesn't come upon a person who was not saved, nor does the Holy Spirit empower a person who is not saved.
You are taking what is known as the Ordainces of the church and making them. Needful for salvation. Next, you will tell me that Communion, the wine and bread, is the real body and Blood of Jesus.
What saved everyone in the Bible was Jesus, not water baptism. The gospel of Jesus Christ is the Power of God for salvation; that is what the word of God says.
"Because what you should be saying is water baptism is a part of being saved."
We have said it in more ways than you can understand.
Many of us said I know I said :
Those who are saved will be baptized in water as our Lord was unto Obedience. You apparently will not see that.
Many of us also said water baptism in Jesus' name is a valid Baptism as water baptism in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
If you do not agree with that, fine; many of us disagree with that. I am not saying you're not saved, but you and some like you tried to suggest were confusing and provided a narrative about Church history and the Bible itself.
You and some like you are legalistic. The confusion, I would say, comes from those who say other people's water Baptism is not valid.
Your wrong. From your post in other threads, you don't even know. About "Spiritual baptism."
And trying to teach others? Confusion? Look in the mirror, guy.
