The natural water baptism is but a token of the spiritual water baptism.

Example of that which is of the flesh is but for a token, (a sign of witness, and profession of faith) for that which is spiritual:

Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. Romans 4:8
Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness. Romans 4:9
How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision. Romans 4:10
And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also: Romans 4:11

And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you. Genesis 17:11
And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh: Ezekiel 11:19
That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God. Ezekiel 11:20
A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. Ezekiel 36:26
And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. Ezekiel 36:27
In that ye have brought into my sanctuary strangers, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pollute it, even my house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant because of all your abominations. Ezekiel 44:7
Thus saith the Lord GOD; No stranger, uncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that is among the children of Israel. Ezekiel 44:9

Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked. Deuteronomy 10:16
And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. Deuteronomy 30:6
Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings. Jeremiah 4:4

The following are precepts and my reasoning with those who professed, in error, the natural water baptism was required to be saved.

There is the doctrine of baptisms and the natural water baptism is only a token, as is the circumcision of the flesh is a token of that which is spiritual.

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.  John 6:63

Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;  Titus 3:5

That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,  Ephesians 5:26

For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. Hebrews 5:12
For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. Hebrews 5:13
But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. Hebrews 5:14
Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Hebrews 6:1
Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. Hebrews 6:2

Now concerning the natural water baptism, such a baptism is not done as we find in so many congregations (sprinkling of water by one on another; nor one putting the other under the water); the baptism by natural water as the token of the spiritual baptism is done on this wise.

The eunuch and Philip both went into the water; both Philip and the eunuch as we find in the holy scriptures and not by the traditions of men.

And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? Acts 8:36
And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Acts8:37
And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. Acts 8:38
And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing. Acts 8:39

Such a natural water baptism is a token of this spiritual work of the Lord Jesus.  This spiritual baptism is the same which the malefactor received who was saved by the Lord when he believed the precious promises of the LORD by faith; and it was not the natural water baptism which the eunuch received:

John 3:3-6
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
[4] Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? [5] Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
[6] That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

1 Corinthians 10:1-4
Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
[2] And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; [3] And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
[4] And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

Isaiah 41:17
When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.

John 4:5-14
Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
[6] Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.
[7] There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
[8] (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.) [9] Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
[10] Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
[11] The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?
[12] Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? [13] Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
[14] But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

John 7:37-38
In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
[38] He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

Song of Solomon 4:15
A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon.

Revelation 21:6
And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Romans 10:9

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:10
And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. Luke 23:39
But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? Luke 23:40
And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. Luke 23:41
And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. Luke 23:42
And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. Luke 23:43 

Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Titus 3:5
That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, Ephesians 5:26
If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Colossians 3:1
Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. Colossians 3:2
For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. Colossians 3:3
When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. Colossians 3:4

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 1 John 3:1
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 1 John 3:2
And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 1 John 3:5
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Titus 2:13

Beryl

p.s. the last 5 lines of the precepts above are set in order to once again prove the Lord Jesus is both the Son and the Father; for it is the Lord Jesus who will appear and he alone is doing the appearing and not another.

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6

And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. Genesis 3:12
And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. Genesis 3:13

Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: Romans 5:12
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Romans 3:23
Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. Psalms 51:5
Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 1 John 3:4
For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. James 2:10
But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. Matthew 5:28
But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. Matthew 5:22

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23
For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) Romans 5:17
Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Romans 3:24
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; Romans 3:25
To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. Romans 3:26
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: Deuteronomy 6:4
And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. John 20:28
Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. John 20:29
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 1 John 5:7
Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God? Job 13:8
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. 1 Timothy 3:16
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 1 John 3:1
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 1 John 3:2
And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 1 John 3:5
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. John 4:24
Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 1 John 4:15
And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 1 John 4:16

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 1 Corinthians 15:1
By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 1 Corinthians 15:2
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 1 Corinthians 15:3
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 1 Corinthians 15:4

38 ¶ Now it came to pass, as they went,
that he entered into a certain village: and a
certain woman named Martha received
him into her house.
39 And she had a sister called Mary,
which also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his
word.
40 But Martha was cumbered about much
serving, and came to him, and said, Lord,
dost thou not care that my sister hath left
me to serve alone? bid her therefore that
she help me.
41 And Jesus answered and said unto her,
Martha, Martha, thou art careful and
troubled about many things:
42 But one thing is needful: and Mary
hath chosen that good part, which shall
not be taken away from her.

one LORD:
5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God
with all thine heart, and with all thy soul,
and with all thy might.
6 And these words, which I command thee
this day, shall be in thine heart:
7 And thou shalt teach them diligently
unto thy children, and shalt talk of them
when thou sittest in thine house, and when
thou walkest by the way, and when thou
liest down, and when thou risest up.
8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign
upon thine hand, and they shall be as
frontlets between thine eyes.
9 And thou shalt write them upon the
posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and
when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.

the law is light; and reproofs of instruction
are the way of life:

CHAPTER 4:

5 Let your moderation be known unto all
men. The Lord is at hand.
6 Be careful for nothing; but in every
thing by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests be made
known unto God.
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all
understanding, shall keep your hearts and
minds through Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are
true, whatsoever things are honest,
whatsoever things are just, whatsoever
things are pure, whatsoever things are
lovely, whatsoever things are of good
report; if there be any virtue, and if there
be any praise, think on these things.
9 Those things, which ye have both
learned, and received, and heard, and seen
in me, do: and the God of peace shall be
with you.
10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that
now at the last your care of me hath
flourished again; wherein ye were also
careful, but ye lacked opportunity.
11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for
I have learned, in whatsoever state I am,
therewith to be content.
12 I know both how to be abased, and I
know how to abound: every where and in
all things I am instructed both to be full
and to be hungry, both to abound and to
suffer need.
13 I can do all things through Christ
which strengtheneth me.

Ghost, whom the Father will send in my

bring all things to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto you.

18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will
come to you.

CHAPTER 16:

expedient for you that I go away: for if I
go not away, the Comforter will not come
unto you; but if I depart, I will send him
unto you.

not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend
from heaven with a shout, with the voice
of the archangel, and with the trump of
God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

so shall we ever be with the Lord.

CHAPTER 21:

12 ¶ And God said unto Abraham, Let it
not be grievous in thy sight because of the
lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all
that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken
unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed
be called.
13 And also of the son of the bondwoman
will I make a nation, because he is thy
seed.
14 And Abraham rose up early in the
morning, and took bread, and a bottle of
water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it
on her shoulder, and the child, and sent
her away: and she departed, and wandered
in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
15 And the water was spent in the bottle,
and she cast the child under one of the
shrubs.
16 And she went, and sat her down over
against him a good way off, as it were a
bowshot: for she said, Let me not see the
death of the child. And she sat over
against him, and lift up her voice, and
wept.
17 And God heard the voice of the lad;
and the angel of God called to Hagar out
of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth
thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard
the voice of the lad where he is.
18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in
thine hand; for I will make him a great
nation.
19 And God opened her eyes, and she saw
a well of water; and she went, and filled
the bottle with water, and gave the lad
drink.
20 And God was with the lad; and he
grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and
became an archer.
21 And he dwelt in the wilderness of
Paran: and his mother took him a wife out
of the land of Egypt.
