Bible Note: Hello Grace and Truth John 6:63 (ESV) It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is of no avail. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. Romans 6:4 (ESV) We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. If the Spirit is the one who gives life (and He is), then the baptism which enables the newness of life must be baptism of the Spirit. Ephes. 4:5 (ESV) one Lord, one faith, one baptism, In promoting unity, Paul mentions several things we are to rally around. To be the most accurate, I would say baptism into Christ is the baptism here; but since the Spirit gives life and Christ is the giver of life, then the Holy Spirit is the baptizing agent--not water.
