@EdJ Hi Ed,
So when scripture speaks of earthly baptisms it speaks water baptisms.
This is the baptism from above that is solely of God
But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in his name,
who were born, not of blood, nor the will of the flesh, nor the will be of man, but of God.
Jn 1.12
