ONE BAPTISM vs. "2nd Blessing"

".....many claim that Christians should expect a "second blessing" after an earlier committment to Christ and that this so-called 'second blessing' will lead to speaking in tongues. ...'baptism with the Holy Spirit,'..."There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and
through all, and in you all." (Ephesians 4: 4-6)..... Paul did NOT say, 'Oh, you just have to hang on for the second blessing' - No.
He explained what had happened since, undoubtedly talking about Jesus and the coming of the Spirit,.....
If advocates of the 'second blessing' teaching were correct, Paul would surely have carefully explained this point in his highly theological epistles. On the contrary, he says that there is 'one baptism' .
