Eph 4:5 says "One LORD, one faith, one baptism" Why do today's Christians believe there are TWO baptisms? By that logic 2 Lords & 2 faiths?

Update:

@ORANG

WHEN YOU BELITTLING GOD IT COUNTS BELIEVING YOU NEED HELP HIM ACCOMPLISH "ONE BAPTISM" (EPH 4:5) WHEN JESUS DOES THE BAPTIZING (JOHN 1:33) "PERFECTLY" (ACTS 18:26; PSALM18:30)!

"GOD LAUGHS" (PSALM 37:13) AT THESE "BA$TARDS" (HEB 12:8)!

Update 2:

WATER DOESN'T FORGIVE NOBODY'S SIN OR WE WOULDN'T NEED JESUS' BLOOD (HEB 9:22).  YOU TELL JESUS THAT WHEN YOU STAND BEFORE THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHIRST (II COR 5:10).  YOU'RE ALREADY IN TROUBLE.

THE ANGEL DIDN'T TELL PHILIP TO "GO BAPTIZE THE ETHIOPIAN" 

PETER DID (ACTS 2:38) WHO DIDN'T (((REMEMBER))) (ACTS 11:15-16).

SINCE THERE'S ONLY "ONE BAPTISM" (EPH 4:5) AND SCRIPTURE SAYS JESUS DOES IT (JOHN 1:33) "PERFECTLY" (ACTS 18:26; PS 18:30)

Update 3:

YOU HAVE A DECISION TO MADE AS TO (((WHO))) DOES THAT "ONE BAPTISM" (EPH 4:5)

(((MAN))) (PETER ACTS 2:38)

OR (((GOD))) (JOHN 1:33; ACTS 1:5)?

WHICH "ONE?" 

Update 4:

@MALCOLM

I SEE YOU AND WHOEVER AGREES WITH YOU HAVE CONCEDED TO THE MESSAGE SINCE YOU HAVE NO OTHER DEFENSE THAN TO TELL ME HOW YOU CAN'T DEFEND YOURSELF WITH YOUR REPETIVITVE STATEMENT.

    We have wasted so much time in reading such illogical, incoherent and unbelievable material, that we want that time back.

    Many have been misled by false teachers who say that the one baptism Paul wrote about is not the same baptism he himself sometimes performed on others, namely water baptism for the forgiveness of one's sins (1Cor 1:14-16).

    That's the same baptism Philip performed on the Ethiopian after the HS directed the evangelist to the man (Ac 8:26-40).

    Here's a question you might consider posting: Why do some people who claim to be Christians avoid the topic of Ac 8:26-40 altogether?  Is it because it totally obliterates their false teaching that the one baptism of Eph 4:5 is HS baptism?
