I'm not sure that the two were ever completely identified, but they do seem to be closely linked in liturgy.  There is the baptism and the chrism which is an annointing with oil to signify the HS.  This is, however, completely devoid of grammatical content and should not be pursued on list.

Titus 3:5b reads:

ESWSEN hHMAS DIA LOUTROU PALIGGENESIAS KAI ANAKAINWSEWS PNEUMATOS hAGIOU

Do LOUTROU PALIGGENESIAS and ANAKAINWSEWS PNEUMATOS hAGIOU refer to the same
event or does LOUTROU PALIGGENESIAS refer to baptism while ANAKAINWSEWS
PNEUMATOS hAGIOU refer to the work of the HS in regeneration?  Is it
incorrect to infer a parallelism akin to Hebrew poetry here and so read
these as the same thing?  Thanks.
