Ok, How about your analogy of:

Repentance - Death
Baptism - Burial
Holy Ghost infilling - Resurrection

How does your analogy fit in the case of Cornelius in Acts 10. Why was Cornelius buried since he had already resurrected?

Chronological order is irrelevant. If we were speaking of a physical death, burial, and resurrection that would be different.

I received the Holy Ghost 4 years before i was baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ. If i had not received the Holy Ghost i would have never been led to truth concerning baptism. It was His Spirit that led me.

Rom 6
3Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
