Today,
reply is on salvation for sinners being primarily through the life
and works of Jesus Christ, rather than by a believer’s
own experience of water or fire baptism. The name of Jesus (i.e.,
his completed, ongoing, and yet to be finished works that are the
basis of his reputation as sent from GOD) is to be acknowledged as a
full and sufficient divine provision for remission of sin on earth as
it is in heaven. It is written: Acts 4: 12, King James Version
(KJV): 12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is
none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be
saved. The fighter in the “Yahoo! Answers” public forum on

How
do we reconcile TWO baptisms into "one" (Ephesians 4:5)
when there's a water baptism and a Holy Spirit baptism?
Update:
@ANON
JESUS
SAID IN MARK 16:16 >>>"HOLY SPIRIT BAPTISM"<<<
>>>"SAVES!"<<<
OTHERWISE
YOU ARE
>>>"DAMNED!"<<<
YOU
JUST TOLD JESUS TO "SHUT UP" WHICH IS "BLASPHEMY"
(MATTHEW 12:31-32)
AND
ARE
>>>"DAMNED!"<<<
"REPENT!"
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid,
which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation
gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man’s
work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because
it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work
of what sort it is. If any man’s
work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
If any man’s work shall be
burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so
as by fire. (1st Corinthians 3: 11-15, King James
Version, KJV)

“Norine”,
there are only one baptism and one resurrection from death that can
be acknowledged as joining mankind to divinity in rebirth,
redemption, and salvation. Just as the presence of Jesus Christ
within the fiery furnace preserved the companions of Daniel (Shadrach
Meshach and Abednego), those who would have forgiveness for sin and
reconciliation to GOD must have the presence of Christ in the life.
Consciousness and self-will (willpower) within sinners and developing
Christian believers must undergo permanent changes through operations
of the Holy Spirit so that they completely abandon the inborn,
self-centered process of heart and mind that is an obstacle to
realizing the new creation. While all are to be held
accountable for the fruitage they themselves produce by word and
deed, they also must come to the sacred knowledge that
atonement for sin, and the fresh endowment of life essence
(breath; spirit; word) available from divinity are gifts bestowed on
the basis of lovingkindness, divine prerogative, eternal purpose, and
the sovereign will of GOD. Consider again the following that uses
language from the Bible, and a presentation on readiness for the
Second Coming of Jesus Christ from the music ministry of Debra Barnes
and the Barnes Family:
(1.)
Hebrews 6: 1-3, King James Version (KJV): 1 Therefore leaving the
principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection;
not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of
faith toward God, 2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of
hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. 3
And this will we do, if God permit.
(2.)
Romans 6: 3-13, KJV: 3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were
baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore
we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ
was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we
also should walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been planted
together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the
likeness of his resurrection: 6 Knowing this, that our
old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be
destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 7 For he that is
dead is freed from sin. 8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe
that we shall also live with him: 9 Knowing that Christ being raised
from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he
liveth, he liveth unto God. 11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to
be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our
Lord. 12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye
should obey it in the lusts thereof. 13 Neither yield ye your
members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield
yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your
members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
(3.)
Colossians 2: 8-13, KJV: 8 Beware lest any man spoil you through
philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the
rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth
all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in
him, which is the head of all principality and power: 11 In whom
also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in
putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of
Christ: 12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen
with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath
raised him from the dead. 13 And you, being dead in your sins and
the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with
him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended (for example, 4.

Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you
according to your faith.
