You can't have it.
Jesus won't let me give you that alteration to the text.
Reconstructing this wording that says, "
he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost", from
Matthew 3:11, to fabricate its transformation into a completely unrevealed, unwritten, unheard-of new combination of words, "
Holy Spirit Baptism", is a departure of too great a magnitude from where you found it.
There is no debate as to the meaning of a fictitious alteration to the Word of God, right before our very eyes.
...
Then, why don't any of the passages you quoted
mention the Holy Spirit?
You you should probably know before you try to flagrantly dispense with the literal "
one baptism" in the Bible, as being "
water baptism", and toss it into an imaginary non-existent oblivion and omitting it from the Bible,
in order for you to substitute your imaginary non-existent newly formed and created "
baptism" you call the, "
immersion that the Holy Spirit does when he places us into Christ at the moment of redemption", that has suddenly appeared out of oblivion and has never even been thought to be employed by the writers of the Bible in a figurative way, to associate it with redemption in any way:
In a literal sense the Bible teaches only one baptism, that is, one kind of baptism, as a New Testament ordinance.
This is immersion in water of a born-again believer by the ministry of a New Testament church for the purpose of providing a symbol or figure of the faith they are professing in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Along with other no less than Divinely Authoritative uses of the word "
baptism", as being "
water baptism" listed below, such as in
Matthew 3:11;
"I indeed
baptize you with water",
that text and those below describe the one water baptism of the New Testament to be authorized as a continuing ordinance of God.
First administered by the John the Baptist on direct command from heaven,
it was continued under the direction of Jesus by the disciples constituting the first church founded by Jesus Christ,
and finally committed to that same church for administration to the end of the age.
"The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men?. . ."
(
Matthew 21:25.)
A right answer to this question must lead to a recognition of the Divine Authority of Jesus as Head of His churches and away from those who are the head of an effort directed at usurping His Authority in replaceing His Word with their own contrived words of man.
Jesus Christ said that there was "not a greater prophet"
(of God, obviously) "than John the Baptist."
27 "
This is he, of whom it is written,
Behold, I send my messenger before thy face,
which shall prepare thy way before thee.
28 "For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women
there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist:
John the Baptist was "a man sent from God".
John 1:6; "There was a man sent from God, whose name was John."
The Sovereign Lord God of the Universe,
God the Father, sent John the Baptist to "baptize".
John 1:33; "And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water,
the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending,
and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost."
Jesus had All Power and The Authority of God in Heaven and Earth.
Matthew 28:18; "And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying,
All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Jesus compared and equated His Authority as being the Authority of God
and that Authority was given to Him from God,
to the Authority in "the baptism of John."
Mark 11:27 "And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,
28 "And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things?
and who gave thee this authority to do these things?
29 "And Jesus answered and said unto them,
I will also ask of you one question, and answer me,
and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
30 "The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.
31 "And they reasoned with themselves, saying,
If we shall say, From heaven; he will say,
Why then did ye not believe him?
32 "But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people:
for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.
33 "And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell.
"And Jesus answering saith unto them,
Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things."
Jesus Christ called "the baptism of John", "the Counsel of God."
29 "And all the people that heard him, and the publicans,
justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
Luke 7:30; "But the Pharisees and lawyers
rejected the counsel of God against themselves,
being not baptized of him.
Jesus walked 70 miles to be baptized by John the Baptist.
Matthew 3:13 "Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John,
to be baptized of him.
Jesus said that for Him to be baptized by John the Baptist
fulfilled "all righteousness".
Matthew 3:14 "But John forbad him, saying,
I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
15 "And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now:
for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness."
The only appearance of The Triune Godhead
manifested together in the Bible
is at the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist,
where the Holy Spirit witnessed to His approval of it
when John saw, "the Spirit of God" descended on Jesus "like a dove,
and lighting upon him"
and God the Father Personally voiced His approval of Jesus
having been baptized by John the Baptist, from Heaven itself,
"saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
John 3:15b; "Then he suffered him.
16 "And Jesus, when he was baptized,
went up straightway out of the water:
"and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him,
and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove,
and lighting upon him:
17 "And lo a voice from heaven,
saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
I'm going to say as a Bible believer,
that I have to go with John's water baptism being the one literal baptism
referred to as "one baptism", in Ephesians 4, as being my standpoint
of Biblical Christianity,
and that the replacement of God's Institution of water baptism
with a counterfeit null and void forgery on its face
has to place you and those who influenced you on this
in direct opposition to the Bible record and the Triune Godhead.
