By the time Paul penned His Ephesian epistle, there is now ONE baptism that is in effect today, Ephesians 4:4-5.He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.
Mark 16:16
There are three Baptisms.
Which Baptism is required for Salvation?
- Baptized into Christ.
- Baptized in water.
- Baptized in the Holy Spirit.
Paul teaches the three Baptisms from the Old Testament Types.
Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, 1 Corinthians 10:1-2
- baptized into Moses - into Christ
- in the cloud - in the Holy Spirit
- and in the sea - in water
Man Baptizes us in water.
The Holy Spirit baptizes us into Christ
Jesus Christ Baptizes us with the Holy Spirit.
I indeed baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.” Mark 1:8
When we repent and are born again, we are Baptized into Christ by the Holy Spirit.
For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into one Spirit. 1 Corinthians 12:13

That one baptism must be water baptism, for baptism is to be understood as a literal immersion, submersion in water in Eph 4:5.
Christ's baptism of the great commission is that ONE baptism.
Christ's Baptism
disciples (humans) commissioned to water baptize
commanded
saves/remits sins
lasts till the end of time
is how disciples are made
Baptism with the Holy Ghost
Only administered by God and not by the hands of humans
never commanded to anyone, but was promised to the Apostles Acts 1:1-5
does not save/remit sins
was a prophecy of Joel (Joel 2:28) that was fulfilled, ceased, ended back in the 1st century
is not how a disciple is made
