No I believe the Bible is 100% Gods Word its the absoulte truth I dont believe in your interptations of scripture. Let me ask you are there contradictions in Gods Word??? If not how can it say there is one baptisim and also that ther are three baptisims ??? Either God word is contradicting itself or you are misreading what it says I say there are no contradictions in Gods Word so if you think there are you are wrong not the Word. So its your job to figure out where you are going wrong.
I have already explained, The one baptism in Ephesians 4: 5, Is the rebirth.and the Plural baptisms in Hebrews 6: 2, are, [1] The rebirth, being born of the Spirit of God, [The baptism into the body of Christ} 1 Cor 12: 13, Galatians 3: 27.[2] Water baptism[3] The baptism in the Holy Ghost,How can you or anyone argue with that.There is no contradiction. I have given you Bible evidence. you have given you own interpretation based on what you think, you can't change God's word to fit into what you believe, you have to change your beliefs to agree with God.

What part of this do you not understand4There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.You completly take Hebrew 6:2 out of context you need to read 6:1 to understand it Hebrews 6:1 "Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,"Therefore when you fall back into the teachings of milk, milk and more milk in Word, you leave the foundation that we are to be in. We are to strive to bring ourselves to perfection, and this word "perfection" means "maturity" and it does not mean being perfect. In the flesh body you will never reach perfection, but you can come to full age of maturity with the discernment of the Word of God. Paul is asking, do you have to have repentance taught to you every week? Can't you get it through to your mind that when you sin, and you know you have sinned, then you repent? The "foundation" is the constant reminder to "be saved", and it is drilled over and over. Faith becomes dead works when people do not obey Christ and seek to go deeper into the Word of God. Paul is about to tell us of a sin that God is very unhappy with in Christians lives. Hebrews 6:2 "Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment."Notice here that the "doctrine of baptisms" is plural. These are the four most taught subjects in most all churches today. Paul is saying once your baptized, you are baptized so move on to something deeper. Once you have been anointed of God as a Christian, accept it as a fact, and move on to deeper things. "Resurrection of the dead", to a Christian is common knowledge and you don't have to be taught such again and again, for it is accepted as fact. We are not saying that you move to better things, for this is the foundation that you start with, but do not spend all your life studying only the milk of the Word.

It is the same for your other scriptures in Cor and GalYou are taking them out of context assuming they say what they do not these are the one and only Baptisim they are talking one thingI 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."When you are baptized into the body of Christ, you become part of that body. This isnt another Baptism it is what happens in the One baptisim You are not baptized into this denomination of that church, but into the body of Christ. There is only One Spirit of God, and He baptizes only into the body of Christ. If that is not acceptable to your church, then it is time to question just what you were baptized into. Your true conversion rises you above denominationalism, it frees you from it, and then you become a child of the Living God. When you accept Jesus Christ and become part of the body of Christ, you all become part of one Spirit, and He is the Holy Spirit of God. There is only one Spirit of God, All those souls that lived before the coming of Messiah were kept under the law, until the Jesus Christ came and died on the cross. This is how the law pointed to Jesus Christ who is the Messiah.Galatians 3:24 "Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster. to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith."The "schoolmaster" is one that teaches people, and the law was given to teach us what God expected from us. The commandments and the rules taught the people until Christ came to earth and hung on the cross. After Christ hung on the cross, the law was not destroyed, but the guidelines that existed before the coming of Jesus Christ are just as true today as they were then, only now when we fall short of the law, we can go directly to God for our forgiveness. God required blood sacrifices for the temporary covering for sin, and when Jesus died on the cross, His blood became our sacrifice, and all of the blood sacrifices and ordinances were done away with because they were fulfilled in ChristGalatians 3:25 "But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster."We are not justified by law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. Now instead of the law becoming our schoolmaster, we have the Holy Spirit that does the same work as the law of Moses. However the Spirit of God is far more gentle, loving, and He is our comfort in times of need. Galatians 3:26 "For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus."God created ever race and every soul is one of His children. Through Christ every soul has the right to come to God in repentance and receive eternal life, if they have that faith. Galatians 3:27 "For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ."When you were baptized, you were baptized into the death, burial, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. By making that public statement, you recognized that your sins were covered by the blood of Christ, and you are accepting that blood for the covering of all your sins. In doing so, you name them one by one to the Father, this is the same ONE BAPTISIMIt is lack of faith that would require one to be baptised over and over There is one Baptism, One God, One Religion and that is Christ(ian)
