2. Christ's baptism in water (John 3:224:1-2)
3. Baptism in suffering (Luke 12:50)
4. Baptism in the cloud and in the sea (1 Corinthians 10:2)

3 Baptism for Believers:
1. Into Christ or into His body at repentance and the new birth (no.6, above). Called "one baptism" (Ephesians 4:5), because it is the only baptism that saves the soul and brings into the body of Christ.
2. Water Baptism after one is saved (no.5, above and...)
3. Spirit baptism, the enduement of power for service, it takes place before water baptism (Acts 10:44-48) or after it (Acts 1:4-8; 2:1-11; 8:12-21; 19:1-7). The Holy Spirit is the agent to baptize into Christ and into His body (1 Corinthians 12:13); Christ is the agent to baptize in the Holy Spirit (Matthew 3:11; John 1:33-33); and the minister is the agent to baptize into water (Matthew 28:19)

2. On all occasions confession of sins was required and was made before baptism (Matthew 3:8, 11; Mark 11:5; Luke 3:8-14)
3. Only believers were baptized after repentance and faith on Christ (Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:16; Acts 2:38, 41; 8:12-13, 37; 16:14-15, 31-33; 18:8; 19:1-7), and some cases, after receiving the Holy Spirit (Acts 9:17-18; 10:44-48)
4. Christ who knew no sin was baptized: Christ submitted to baptism for two reasons: 1. To fulfill righteousness (v15). 2. To be manifest to Israel (John 1:31)
 5. Only a symbol of the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ (1 Peter 3:21)
6. Not essential to salvation (1 Corinthians 1:13-21)
7. Faith in the blood of Christ brings remission of sins (Matthew 26:28; Romans 3:24-25; 4:1-25; 5:1-11; 8:2; 10:4-10; 1 Corinthians 15:1-5; Ephesians 1:7; 2:8-9; Galatians 3:19-29; John 3:16; Acts 10:43; 13:38-39; 1 Corinthians 1:18-21; 1 John 1:9; 5:1)
