BAPTIZE YOU WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT / LUKE 3:16

(KJV) Luke 3:16

John 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:

Christ’s baptizing His followers with or in the Holy Spirit (Matthew 3:11) would be a new sign by which to identify God’s people. 

1. This was promised through prophecy in Joel 2:28 and reaffirmed by Jesus Himself after His resurrection (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4-8). This prediction began to be fulfilled on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:4).
2. Christ’s ministry of baptizing (immersing, cleansing and empowering) His followers in the Holy Spirit is a continuing ministry throughout this present age. This is made clear by the Greek text of John 1:33 (“he who will baptize with the Holy Spirit”); this phrase uses the present participle (ho baptizon), meaning “he who will continue to baptize.” This means that the references in Luke and John are not only to the first outpouring of the Holy Spirit (when God generously sent His Spirit to fill and empower His followers) during Pentecost, but also to the important ongoing role of Jesus as the Baptizer in the Holy Spirit. “The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off” (Acts 2:39).
3. The purpose of this baptism is to provide great spiritual power, inspiration and enthusiasm, to live for Christ and spread His message (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8; Luke 3:16).
