The disciples also had flames swirling around and resting over their heads. Why isn’t that sought after as a sign of being baptized in fire?
Good example. I would offer. Interestingly the tongues (plural) as more than one were cloven or separate as in many languages to represent our heavenly father the father of a multitude of nations or all the nations of the world Showing they had the approval of the Holy Spirit. It sat on each tongue as a language, 3000 souls heard the interpretation or prophecy and where born again given new spirit life that will never die.
And there appeared unto them
cloven tongues like as of
fire, and it sat upon
each of them.And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak
with other tongues, as the
Spirit gave them utterance. Acts 2
If we compare that spiritual understanding to a section of the old testament .In 1 Kings 18 picturing the Spirit of Christ calling lovingly commanding his born again people to repentance . hear me, Lord hear me, as he turn us towards Him so that we can in turn repent
Hear me, O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the Lord God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again.Then the
fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and
licked up the water that was in the trench.And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The Lord, he is the God; the Lord, he is the God.1 Kings 18:37-39
Licked up, raised honor to the author and perfecter of the faith of Christ, our new born again faith .
