On that note; What do you think about these verses:
Luke 3:16
16John answered, saying unto
them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire
Matt 3:11
11I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and
with fire:
John 1:33
33And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
What is meant by fire? Some interpret it as spiritual fire because of the tongues of flame mentioned on the day of Pentecost. Others say it is a judgment on those who are separated and burned up (chaff) as if He were saying One is baptized in the Holy Spirit and another is baptized in fire.
Since we will probably still be discussing the tongues of flame on Pentecost, continuing the subject in this thread seems appropriate.
