It's referring to the ONE baptism of the Holy Spirit.

As opposed to the MANY baptisms Israel had.

I say to all that just because it says baptism , does not always means water baptism !!

1 Cor 10:2 is just one good example .

and another good question is , where did water baptism begin ?

and to who was water baptism ( first given to ) ?

Exactly my point.

There's not a drop of water in the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

IOW...

The Holy Spirit is what we are being baptised into, not water.

and many today when they see the word baptism , it always means water , but we know different >

so Eph 4:5 in the Greek means one baptisma , which means one baptizer , who's name is the Holy Spirit .
