THERE IS ONLY ONE BAPTISM
(with an inward aspect and an outward aspect)
THE INWARD ASPECT : BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT AND FIRE
Matthew 3:11 Luke 3:16 Luke 11:13 Acts 2:3 Acts 8:17 Acts 9:17-18 Acts10:44-46 Acts 19:6
Baptism with the Spirit is regeneration. It makes us a new creation, a child of God. Baptism in fire involves the death of the old man. Baptism in water symbolizes death of the old man and rebirth into Christ.
See The fire of God

Baptism in water in the name of Jesus or in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit incorporates the baptism of John and symbolizes the inward baptism that occurs at conversion.
