The baptism of fire does not appear to be a desired baptism.
| Matthew 3:11,12 |
"I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me
is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you
with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fan is in His hand,
and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into
the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire." |
| Luke 3:16,17 |
John answered, saying to all, "I indeed baptize you with water; but One mightier
than I is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose. He will baptize
you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fan is in His
hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather the wheat
into His barn; but the chaff He will burn with unquenchable fire." |
