So very well done. I enjoy listening, and trust me when I say, I do not listen to men hardly ever.

You have created a quagmire for yourself when you interpret the word "baptism" (and related) in the bible as always referring to physical water dunking. In this video, you explain that someone can receive the Holy Spirit before, during, or after (later) the waters of baptism. I agree with this aspect and it is hard to imagine how someone is not saved if they believe and have received the Holy Spirit.

And you stated in this video at tt 19:57 that "God doesn't have to do it a certain way". But God already told us a certain way in John 3:5 and he did not leave any room for "other ways". You've stated previously that your interpretation of John 3:5's "born of water" is referring to physical water baptism, therefore, which is the quagmire, no one can be saved unless they are physically water baptised.

As I see it, the only way to get out of this self inflicted predictament is to recognize that not every biblical use of the word "baptism" (and related) refers to physical water dunking. Baptism must be something that takes place in the heart with or without a public water dunking.
