Water baptism did not end. It has been practiced from the beginning right down until today. As far as Acts 1:5 goes:
Act 1:5 “for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
Jesus was present with his Apostles when he said to them, "you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit". They had already been baptized in water. At Matt 28:19 the Apostles were told to make disciples and to baptize them.
And in Acts 1:5 , and John did baptize with water , BUT // DE is a conjunction .
YE // HYMEIS , is a PERSOMAL POSSESSIVE PRONOUN , in the NOMINATIVE CASE , means it is the subject , in the PLURAL .
But you shall be BAPTIZED , ( NOTICE that the Greek text does not have WATER // HODOR , is in the Greek FUTURE TENSE , in the Greek PASSIVE VOICE , meaning that Christ is calling the shots , and in the PLURAL .
In other word BAPTISM is going to end and it ended in Acts 28:25-28 and Paul then goes to preach to GENTILES
WATER BAPTISM is just one that confuses all , and believe that WATER SAVES , like in 1 Peter 3:32 and no sees that the word BAPTISM , in the Greek text is NOT BAPTISM , but the Greek word BAPTISMA .
If anyone says that they believe in WATER BAPTISM , consider the following verse .
In 1 Cor 10:2 reads , And all were BAPTIZED UNTO Moses in the CLOUD and in the SEA .
Notice that the Greek for WATER // HODOR is not in the Greek text .
So how were the CLUD and the SEA , BAPTIZED INTO Moses ??
The Greek word WATER // HODOR is NOT in the Greek TEXT ??
