Baptism is not water only. It is the Word of God. Baptism is the washing or cleaning as an outward sign like circumcision, it is the work of the Holy Ghost which brings the outcome for Baptism and that is REGENERATION.

Belief comes by hearing and that which is heard is the World of God. That change or repentance to working toward the Spiritual is what then brings Baptism. Hearing to become Spirit, agreeing to change to be Spirit by ending focusing on the things people lust for, which proves who you are really, and then Baptism with the inviting in of the Holy Spirit, which then makes one Spirit. There is no turning back then as as soul that will be destroyed in Hell. Spirit burns in Hell when it is darkness.
