The preposition "by" has the idea of instrumentality - not that we are baptized "with the Spirit"

The Holy Spirit leads us by the instrument of the word to be baptized into Christ. (cf. 1 Peter 1:22-25)

This baptism, (the one New Testament baptism), is water baptism. (Acts 8:12; 2:38; 10:47,48)

By One Spirit I Believe That Jesus Is The Christ – (John 20:30.31)
