Why does the 'Bible' reflect TWO baptisms after the cross although Ephesians 4:5 says "one baptism" ?

Update:

@SINNER

"RITUAL?"

"WORSHIPING WITH MEN'S HANDS" (ACTS 17:25) WATER BAPTIZING EACH OTHER?

THE SPIRITUAL KINGDOM IS THE HOLY GHOST (MATT 16;28; I COR 4:20) WHO GIVES (((POWER))) [ACTS 1:8] "SPIRITUAL GIFTS" (I COR 12:7-10) AND "SIGNS  FOLLOWING" (MK 16:17-18) RECEIVED AFTER HOLY SPIRIT BAPTISM (ACTS 1:5; I COR 12:13; MK 16:16) WHO PUTS THE KINGDOM OF GOD WITHIN YOU (LK 17:21) BECAUSE "FIRST HE HAD TO SUFFER" (LK 17:25).

Update 2:

YOU BETTER LISTEN TO ACTS 17:25 "NEITHER IS WORSHIPED WITH MEN'S HANDS"

THEN TELL ME IF YOU DON'T HAVE "DOUBT" ABOUT A WATER BAPTISM WHEN YOU BAPTIZE EACH OTHER "WITH MEN'S HANDS."

YOUR (((FAITH))) IS DEAD BECAUSE YOU'RE A "DEAD SPIRIT" (RM 5:12-14) SINCE HIS (((POWER))) DIDN'T COME UPON YOU (ACTS 1:8) WHEN YOU WERE HOLY SPIRIT BAPTIZED (ACTS 1:5) TO "QUICKEN YOU BACK TO LIFE" (EPH 2:1) FROM YOUR "DEAD SPIRIT"

THAT'S WHY YOU BELIEVE (((ANYTHING!)))

    One is a ritual , the other is what God does. The one baptism that counts the most is the spiritual one when God establishes his kingdom within. The Kingdom of God is within because right now the spiritual kingdom is here, the physical one is going to come when Jesus returns. One the the few rituals Jesus directed us to do is the water baptism, and no one should do it out of doubt. You are supposed to do it in faith, with a clear conscience.
