The folloing is a teaching, comment follows.
"Baptisms There are truly 3 types of baptisms of sorts not counting sprinkling. When we accept Jesus as our personal Lord and Saviour, we are baptized into life. When after we have been saved, we should be baptized as a testimony to God and people that we are not ashamed. Water baptism represents death to the old ways and resurrecting to new life. Symbolic of the death and resurrection of Christ. There is another type of baptism that is attainable for believers. It is Holy Spirit baptism which is accompanied by various combinations of nine spiritual giftings: word of wisdom, word of knowledge, prophecy, faith, tongues, interpretation of tongues, discernment of spirits, miracles, and healing. we have a nice chart below."

Well, this is a nice page but goes against G-d`s word that teaches us in Ephesians 4:5~One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
When a person receives the L-rd Jesus as his Savior, he dies to the domination of sin. Yes, in Christ believers have died to sin, and this is the truth signified in baptism. By going down into the waters of baptism, we who have placed our trust in Christ testify that through our union with Him we have been buried with Him in His death. Having died to sin, we are no longer under its condemnation or bondage. Then, our emergence from the waters of baptism signifies that through our union with the living L-rd we have been raised from death with Him. We now have new life--that which gives us spiritual victory. Here is what the apostle himself told us:
Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life (Rom. 6:4).
Water baptism speaks of our identification with Christ. By that identification we are delivered from the condemnation and bondage of sin and brought into a life of peace with G-d and triumph over sin. Baptism, therefore, has served symbolically as an introductory rite . It is the new believer's first step of obedience. It is his public identification with Christ. The apostle said:
Do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? (Rom. 6:3).
Water baptism is a symbol of us dying to sin and being raised again .Baptism in water continued to be the outward visible sign by which individuals who believed the gospel . . . were publicly incorporated into this spirit-baptized fellowship--"baptized into Christ" (Gal. 3:27). It must be remembered that in New Testament times repentance and faith, regeneration andd conversion, baptism in water, reception of the Holy Spirit, . . . admission to church fellowship . . . were all part of a complex of events which took place within a short time. . . . Logically they were distinguishable, but in practice they were all bound up with the transition from the old life to the new Baptism, then, is a testimony of our death to sin, of our severance from its domination, and of our pledge to live a new life through our faith-union with Jesus Christ. During the first century, baptism quickly followed salvation and was closely associated with membership in the local church.
The only way you receive the forgiveness of sin and the gift of everlasting life is through a personal acceptance of the L-rd Jesus Christ as your Savior. And Jesus Christ Baptizes all of the Holy Spirit those recieve Him as L-rd and Savior.This is the baptism of the Holy Spirit to all who recieve Jesus Christ as their L-rd and Savior they have the promise of the comforter .It is for all who have truly repented and recieved Him.
So , I have no idea where "Mr. B." gets three baptism when the Word of G-d teaches us there is ONE baptism.G-d bless you all.Continue to read His Word and learn what HE teaches and Obeying His Holy Word.

25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
26 I therefore so run, not as uncertain
