Actually, it arose when He did and He revealed it to Paul.
The Lost sheep were told to become water baptized whereas, the Body of Christ are baptized by the Holy Spirit into the Body of Christ.
Salvation is not a result of baptism, it is a demonstration of faith.
in Galatians 3:9 Paul said, "So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham."
In Romans 4:16 NET Paul explained, "For this reason it is by faith so that it may be by grace, with the result that the promise may be certain to all the descendants - not only to those who are under the law, but also to those who have the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all..."
Do you have the faith of Abraham?

Why can't baptism be "complex in its unity"? Or does that 3-in-one stuff only work when you want it to?
It's actually less of a stretch because you only have one verse saying "one baptism", but you have hundreds saying that there is only one God.

Then it would become a faith vs works argument - not an argument of baptism.

This would remove much of the NT from us, as Gentiles.
Do you teach that as well? Or just argue against baptism?
You know the drill.
Christ's earthly Ministry is devoted to preaching The Kingdom Gospel to the Lost sheep of the House of Israel. So was His Disciples/Apostles. In fact, Christ told His group this in Matthew 10:5 "These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
Whereas, Paul was The Apostle to the Gentiles and was preaching The Grace Gospel. Paul's writings are Romans through Philemon.
We MUST know how to "Rightly Divide" the written word of God. (The Bible.) Otherwise, we find ourselves getting confused by so-called Contradictions, that, aren't really there.

Why is it so hard to see where Jesus, for a specific time, instructed them not to go to the Gentiles?
Then, after His resurrection He commanded them to go to every nation (Matthew 28:19, Acts 1:8).
Oh, and He said (commanded them) to baptize all nations. That's why they (and Paul) did just that.

It's a demonstration that you are not trusting the Lord, but works.

Mid-Acts Dispensationalism is a doctrine that helps us to understand who is being spoken to at any given time. At times, the Bible is pertaining to the Lost Sheep of Israel. (Such as, in the first four Gospels) At other times it's pertaining to The Body of Christ. (The Church.) Today we're living in The Dispensation of the Grace of God. (Paul calls it that.) We have only ONE Gospel for both the Jew and the Gentile alike. Paul's Gospel, given to him by The Ascended Lord Jesus Christ is the only Gospel for today. You cannot get saved and inherit eternal life without this Gospel. If one rejects it, they'll be judged by God by their works and be cast into The Lake of Fire for eternity. You don't want to end up there! Even Satan, his fallen angels, the false Prophet and the Beast will be cast into that same Lake of Fire.

Why water baptize at all today except to please some religious drone? Why endevour to NOT keep the one baptism of Ephesians 4?

My question for you is this:
Since commanded (not requested) by the Lord on earth pertaining to salvation preached in Mark 16:16 KJV, why aren't you arguing for it?

Paul first took his Gospel to the Jews and they rejected it. Henceforth, he went on to be The Apostle to the Gentiles. Jesus earthly Ministry was ONLY to the Lost Sheep of Israel. The same for His Apostles. Paul was the ONLY one preaching The Grace Gospel to the Gentiles.
Paul taught: faith in Christ as your only Savior. And, without works to the Gentiles.
Peter and the other Apostles taught faith plus works to the Lost Sheep of Israel.
