Please show me where the BIBLE says baptized with the HS other than the two special situations where the bible says in black and white "baptized with the Holy Spirit."
They aren't "special situations". It's how all members of the body of Christ get into HIM. No man can put us IN CHRIST by any act of man....even dunking us under water. God sends His Spirit to dwell in our hearts when we hear and believe the Gospel of Salvation. How that Jesus Christ was crucified, was buried and rose again for our justification. There is nothing we can do except believe. Nothing. It is all the work of the Spirit in us. We are created IN CHRIST by the Spirit as new creatures. I was in the loft of a log cabin when the Holy Spirit came to dwell in me. I was no where near water. Water baptism was for the Jews....it was part of their religion...it is even called John's baptism. Why is that do you think? The churches have carried it on as tradition and some have claimed it's necessary for salvation. That's simply not the case. Instead of digging in your heels, you should consider what you've been shown so far. Do you have any idea what it means to be "crucified with Christ"? Remain open....there's a lot you don't know. Lots of basic stuff from what I can see. No offense intended. Really.
