John 3:5. Born of water is that which is born of flesh. People say, her water broke. The first birth is a water birth see Gen 1:20, Pr 5:16-18, Isa 48:1, 1 Jn 5:8. Mark 16:16 is the gospel of the kingdom still being preached until Acts 7. Do you drink deadly poison. The apostles could. Drink some drano and see what happens. Acts 22:16 is quoted from Acts 9. 1 Cor 15:8 Paul himself states that he was born again on the Damascus road. That 's why Ananias called him brother Saul in verse 17 before he was baptized. He had the holy Spirit but was filled for service later just as Peter and the others already had the Holy Ghost Acts 2:4 but was filled for service many times later Acts 4:8,etc. When you get saved you get the Holy Ghost 1 Cor 12:13 but can have many fillings. The Holy Spirit doesn 't leave Eph 1:13 even though He can be grieved Eph 4:30. Acts 22:16 He also said "wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord. " Ananias was devout according to the law verse 12 and associated water baptism with the Old Testament laws of purification see Num 19:7-22, John 11:55, Acts 21:24-25. Matt 28:19-20 shouldn 't be a problem. If baptism is a command as you state. Can an unborn child obey a command. Strange concept.
