I was baptized as an infant (Methodist variety -- spritzed on the noggin before I could think) and as an believer (Southern Baptist -- dunked by Charles Stanley).

So will you change the Creed to say "I believe in not more than two baptisms for the forgiveness of sins" or "I believe in as many baptisms as necessary for the forgiveness of sins"?

1 Corinthians 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

This is the one baptism which saved me and it did not involved water. Water baptism is a picture symbolizing the death, burial and resurrection of the believer to new life in Christ. Water baptism is a picture of Spirit Baptism as the Lord's Supper pictures our fellowship with Him.

Both baptism and the Lord's Supper are powerful pictures of the gospel, neither saved me or keeps me saved.

"I believe in Spirit baptism (regeneration) for the forgiveness of sins"
