The document outlines six different baptisms discussed in the Bible: 1) The baptism unto Moses which saved the Israelites and delivered them from Egypt through the cloud and sea. 2) The baptism of John which prepared people for the coming of Jesus through water immersion and calling for repentance. 3) The baptism of suffering which Jesus and his disciples experienced through persecution. 4) Holy Spirit baptism which empowered the apostles and showed Gentiles were accepted. 5) The "one baptism" of Christ through water for the remission of sins. 6) The baptism of fire which is the punishment and vengeance of unquenchable fire for the wicked.
