Hello all. The words that Jesus was using were in the context of being baptised in the Holy spirit. The way one can only be baptised in the Holy spirit is to be born again. This baptism happens instantaneously when one believes in the gospel message. Water baptism is yes, recommended for all believers, but the act of submerging doesnt save the soul. That would render the Holy spirit incapable and salvation would be granted on works, not Gods grace through faith in HIm.
