"Unfortunately, scripture does'nt detail explicitly how each and every baptism was performed." So we will blame our confusion on God, and come up with a man-made sacrament.
So now we have two or three baptisms--converts, infants and baptism in the Holy Ghost.
The scripture says: "One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism".
Now what?
God is not the author of confusion.
The answer to the definition of "baptism" somehow meaning washing is this: "without the shedding of BLOOD, there is no remission of SIN."
Water does not equal blood in any typology.
Another minor point of order: Christ is a title, not a name. Jesus is the name.
Is Jesus' blood present in the communion?
No. It is sprinkled on the mercy seat in heaven, and Jesus ever lives to make intercession--by virtue of His blood which was shed once for all.
He said, "It is finished". Why do we want to crucify Him daily?
