Whether three kinds of Baptism are fittingly described---viz. Baptism of Water, of Blood, and of the Spirit?

❌ Objection 1 : It seems that the three kinds of Baptism are not fittingly described as Baptism of Water, of Blood, and of the Spirit, i.e. of the Holy Ghost. Because the Apostle says (Eph. 4:5): "One Faith, one Baptism." Now there is but one Faith. Therefore there should not be three Baptisms.

❌ Objection 2 : Further, Baptism is a sacrament, as we have made clear above (Question [65], Article [1]). Now none but Baptism of Water is a sacrament. Therefore we should not reckon two other Baptisms.

❌ Objection 3 : Further, Damascene (De Fide Orth. iv) distinguishes several other kinds of Baptism. Therefore we should admit more than three Baptisms.
