In Acts, we are told we have remission of sins, in Ephesians, we are told we are cleansed. Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. The saving baptism of 1 Peter is compared to the water of the flood. And it is the Spirit that bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. Baptism in water in the name of Jesus was commanded to all men and has continued through the centuries.
Men choose to obey or reject baptism in water.
Baptism of the Spirit was a special promise given for special reasons and is not repeated today. No one could obey the baptism in the Spirit. The Spirit fell on those whom God chose for the purpose of revealing His will for all mankind. Baptism in the name of Jesus is a command to be obeyed. Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
