Do you believe in just water baptism or water baptism and baptism of the holy spirit?

Answer 1

Both.

24 Therefore, my beloved brethren, I know that if ye shall follow the Son, with full purpose of heart, acting no hypocrisy and no deception before God, but with real intent, repenting of your sins, witnessing unto the Father that ye are willing to take upon you the name of Christ, by baptism; yea, by following your Lord and your Savior down into the water, according to his word, behold, then shall ye receive the Holy Ghost; yea, then cometh the baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost; and then can ye speak with the tongue of angels, and shout praises unto the Holy One of Israel.
25 But, behold, my beloved brethren, after ye have repented of your sins, and witnessed unto the Father that ye are willing to keep his commandments, by the baptism of water, and have received the baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost, and can speak with a new tongue, yea, even with the tongue of angels, and after this should deny him, it would have been better for you that ye had not known him.
26 Yea, he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved. And now, my beloved brethren, I know by this that unless a man shall endure to the end, in following the example of the Son of the living God, he cannot be saved.


...72 And the Lord hath given us a commandment to be baptized for the remission of sins, and that the Holy Ghost shall be given to us as our constant companion. And this baptism is our covenant with the Father, which covenant we make before all men, that they might be witnesses thereof of the covenant that we make with God.
73 And with this covenant we are born anew, and become sanctified in the works that we have covenanted with the Father to do.
74 For this reason, the ordinance of baptism shall be administered in a symbolic representation of being buried, by the full immersion into the water, and by coming forth out of the water as a new person; yea, even one who hath been washed of all his former sins and hath been born again.
...79 And now, I would that ye should know, that baptism is only a symbolic ordinance that the Lord hath suffered to be given unto us to keep us in remembrance of the plan of salvation and those things that we must do to be saved in the kingdom of God, as I have previously explained them unto you.
...83 For the Lord judgeth all men according to their works, according to the desires of their hearts. And baptism availeth a man nothing, if it so be that he doth not keep the commandments of God. And if he keepeth the commandments of God, then this baptism availeth him nothing, except that he keepeth the commandments of God in receiving it.

Answer 3

Ephesians 4:4-5 "There is... one baptism"!

You have mentioned 2 baptisms.

Holy Spirit baptism was a promise made to the apostles at a particular time. In Acts 1:5 it records Jesus as saying, “You shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”

Notice, addressed to a particular people –“you” (the apostles) at a particular time “not many days from now”. This event was accomplished on the day of Pentecost! (Acts 2:1-4)

This baptism was a promise, but never a command! This baptism was a sign that the apostles had the authority to speak for the Lord, and it gave them the ability to communicate to people in different languages. The purpose of this baptism was not to save. (The Baptism that saves was commanded in verse 38.)

The baptism of the great commission, however, was commanded (to all people)! (Matthew 28:18-20, Mark 16:16) This baptism is for salvation (Mark 16:16, 1 Peter 3:21, Acts 2:38).

This baptism is in water and it is a representation of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ. (Romans 6:3-4, Colossians 2:12)

In Acts 8:38, it shows the Phillip and the eunuch went down into the water. In Acts 10:47 Peter said, “Can any refuse WATER that these may be baptized…?”

In this instance, the angel had told Cornelius to send for Peter who would “speak words to you by which you will be saved.” (Acts 11:14)

As Peter “BEGAN to speak” (Acts 11:15), the Holy Spirit fell on them just like it did in Acts 1. This is not when they were saved, but a sign that they could receive salvation. (Acts 10:47) (Holy Spirit baptism was a sign that could be see by others.) Remember that salvation was as a result of the WORDS that Peter was to speak!

So, what were those words? “He commanded them to be baptized (in water) in the name of Jesus Christ!” (Acts 10:48) It is this baptism in water according to the instructions (authority) of Jesus Christ that saved them!

Also, this time was the last example of a Holy Spirit baptism in the Bible, but there continued to be water baptisms. Also, speaking of the water of the great flood and how it washed away the evil from the world and allowed Noah to begin a new life in a new world, Peter says, “In a like figure, baptism now saves you…”! (1 Peter 3:20-21) It is at this baptism that we “rise to walk in newness of life!” (Romans 6:3-4) We cannot be saved if we are not “born again” into this new life in Christ!

You have spoken of TWO baptisms, but by the time the book of Ephesians was written, the Bible tells us “There is… ONE baptism” (Ephesians 4:4-5)! In the Bible, we see that water baptism continued to be practiced and commanded. This therefore must be the “one baptism” of Ephesians 4!

This baptism washes away sins (Acts 22:16) by placing us “into Christ” and into contact with His death, burial and resurrection! (Romans 6:3-4) At His death is where the saving blood was shed. It is this blood that washes away our sins (Rev. 1:5). By contacting His death, we contact this saving blood and are saved! That is why Peter was able to say “baptism now saves… through the resurrection of Jesus Christ”! (1 Peter 3:21)

Jesus commanded baptism! "And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him". (Hebrews 5:9)
