Yes. It seems only yesterday that Jesus was baptized by John. Time flies when your havin' good old fashioned Christian fun.
With reference to MamaZ she was speaking about the "baptism of the Holy Spirit" which, I guess, justifies the sinner. That, of course, is what I was referring to (which I'm guessing everyone knew). Seems as though folks are rather brushing aside the comment on "baptism." Likewise, Christ's baptism in the Jordan is not only proof of water baptism but it is also the first place in Scripture where the Holy Trinity is made explicitly manifest. Folks can go on "belevin' in baptism in Jesus' name" for all I care...I'll only note that it is wholly unscriptural.
Haven't heard of the waterless baptism yet, unless you mean the one by fire:
Matt 3:11 - I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
Your comment makes no sense as the passage is dealing with the righteous and unrighteous and the Forerunner is using the language of "fire" specifically in the context of judgment of sinners.
