He that believes and is not water baptised is saved

One baptism, two results. Forgiveness of sin and receipt of the gift, the indwelling, of the Holy Spirit, i.e., baptism in the Holy Spirit.
no

Being immersed in Christ gives us forgiveness if sin

We are anointed by the spirit that has nothing to do with baptism

There is a baptism in water

There is a baptism In Christ. These are two baptisms not one
 
In this case, they are the same thing.
No I will have to say actually they are not.

The Spirit may be considered the baptizer or the baptizing element.

1 Corinthians 12:13 (LEB) — 13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free persons, and all were made to drink one Spirit.

But the baptism is into another thing.
 
Baptism with the pronoun "with" not "in".

The point is the goal is not to put you in the element but to put you into a state or at least picture it.

"INTO" is different than "IN". We are baptized IN water INTO Christ. It is IN water that we are baptized resulting in salvation (1 Pet 3:21) in which the Holy Spirit gives us a clean conscience. It is BY the Spirit that we are made clean through the washing of water (Eph 5:26-27).

I would say we are baptized with or even by (if the agent of the baptism is being mentioned)

"With" has nothing to do with "into" or "in". These three different propositions have different meanings.

Mark here is talking about being baptized in martyrdom. This passage has nothing to do with salvation, or water baptism (the one baptism in the NT Church).

What does this passage have to do with anything in your argument?
These men were disciples of John, not Jesus, and they were not yet saved. They had been baptized with John's baptism, but they had not yet received NT baptism. Paul immediately baptized them into Christ in which they received salvation and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

In water baptism, you are being baptized in the Name of Jesus, with the purpose of burying the old life of sin. In the baptism in the Holy Spirit, the believer is being baptized in the Holy Spirit, with the purpose of being clothed with power.

Separate Experiences

There are some teachers of the Bible that teach that the baptism in the Holy Spirit, and water baptism happen at the same time. This simply is not the case. The book of Acts makes it extremely clear that these experiences are separate.

Let’s take a journey through a few passages that prove this point.

“Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them, who, when they had come down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit. For as yet He had fallen upon none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then they laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 8:14-17).

“Then Peter answered, “Can anyone forbid water, that these should not be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?” And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord.(Acts 10:46-48).

“When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied. “ (Acts 19:5-6).

The Bible says “by the mouth of two or three witnesses, every word shall be established” (2 Corinthians 13:1). So, it is clear through these three scriptures, that the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a separate experience from water Baptism.

Conclusion

The differences between these two baptisms are as follows:

  1. These baptisms are separate experiences.
  2. The purpose of water baptism is to remove the old life of sin, while the baptism in the Holy Spirit is to be endued with power.
  3. When the individual is being baptized in water, they’re being baptized into Christ, while the Spirit baptism is an immersion into the Holy Spirit.


Again, a reference to Jesus' martyrdom, not salvation.

Jesus' reference to the baptism of the Holy Spirit is not a reference to salvation. It is a reference to the empowerment the Holy Spirit would give to those who, at that time, already had the Holy Spirit indwelling them.

See Acts 1:5 above.

What does this passage have to do with anything in your argument?
These men were disciples of John, not Jesus, and they were not yet saved. They had been baptized with John's baptism, but they had not yet received NT baptism. Paul immediately baptized them into Christ in which they received salvation and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

Verse 21 looks back to verse 20, and says that the Flood was a symbol of the baptism that now saves us in the NT era. The baptism in the NT era requires water, like the Flood, and it is in this baptism that the Holy Spirit removes our sin (not physical dirt from the body) and gives us a new, clean conscience because of the resurrection of Jesus.
 
In water baptism, you are being baptized in the Name of Jesus, with the purpose of burying the old life of sin. In the baptism in the Holy Spirit, the believer is being baptized in the Holy Spirit, with the purpose of being clothed with power.
It is in the old life of sin being cut from us (Col 2:11-14) that the penalty for our sin is removed from us, and at that same time we receive resurrection from the death of sin (just as Christ was resurrected) resulting in eternal life (Rom 6:1-7). The gift of the indwelling of the Spirit is the guarantee of eternal life with Him. Receiving miraculous power is not guaranteed to everyone who is saved. Even in the first century, not everyone who was saved received miraculous power from the Holy Spirit. And since the first century, no one has received miraculous power.
The differences between these two baptisms are as follows:
1. These baptisms are separate experiences.
These baptisms happen at the same time today.
2. The purpose of water baptism is to remove the old life of sin, while the baptism in the Holy Spirit is to be endued with power.
See above.
3. When the individual is being baptized in water, they’re being baptized into Christ, while the Spirit baptism is an immersion into the Holy Spirit.
Being baptized into Christ is the point of salvation, which means that salvation occurs during water baptism.
 
"With" has nothing to do with "into" or "in". These three different propositions have different meanings.
We are baptized "by" a person and "by" the Holy Spirit when we are baptized "in" water and "into" Christ.
Um this is scripture

Baptism is noted to be with water or the Spirit

In Matt 28:19, which is the same statement as Mark 16:16, Jesus commands the Apostles (and through them, every Christ follower after them) to baptize new followers of Him so that they will be saved. Rom 6:1-7, Col 2:11-14, and 1 Pet 3:21 all state that the Holy Spirit takes action DURING baptism to remove our sin and resurrect our spirit with/like Christ.
