Look how Holy Ghost baptism is described in
Acts 15:8-9.....
Quote:

8 So God, who knows the heart, acknowledged them by giving them the Holy Ghost, just as He did to us,And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.

The only literal purification one receives is when they are baptized in the Holy Ghost. God does this
BY (on account of) the blood of Christ. the reason God
FORGIVES us in the waters of baptism is because we are making Jesus Lord and believing the gospel. While a
REAL cleansing takes place in baptism, a
LITERAL cleansing does not. The latter happens when the Purifier comes in.
