"For BY ONE SPIRIT are we all baptized into one body...." 1 Cor. 12:13. It is the HOLY SPIRIT, in this age of grace, who baptizes us into Christ, not baptism by water.
"There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling. One Lord, one faith, ONE BAPTISM, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all." Eph. 4:4-6.
There is ONE BAPTISM. We are baptized BY the Holy Spirit INTO Christ during this age of grace.
Now, if you can make ONE BAPTISM into two, spiritual AND water, then something is contrary to God's Word.

“What about Romans 6:4 leads you to believe that Paul is speaking of water baptism? How are we “baptized into Jesus Christ”? Rom. 6:3.”
It is sacramental. That’s the whole point.
“”For BY ONE SPIRIT are we all baptized into one body....” 1 Cor. 12:13. It is the HOLY SPIRIT, in this age of grace, who baptizes us into Christ, not baptism by water.”
The Holy Spirit acts through water Baptism - just as Christ knew would happen. John 3:5.
“There is ONE BAPTISM. We are baptized BY the Holy Spirit INTO Christ during this age of grace.”
Yes, through water Baptism. John 3:5.
“Now, if you can make ONE BAPTISM into two, spiritual AND water, then something is contrary to God’s Word.”
There is only one Baptism - it is of water and the Spirit just as Christ said.
There is ONE baptism. That is by the Holy Spirit. I can toss you in the lake a hundred times, but it will not save you. It takes the work of the Cross. Death, burial and resurrection to save. Not being dunked in the water. Simple as that.
