WILL BAPTIZE YOU WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT / MATTHEW 3:11

(KJV) Matthew 3:11

 I 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 teaches that the work of the Messiah will involve baptizing His followers with the Holy Spirit and fire. This baptism would provide great spiritual power and enthusiasm to live for Christ and spread His message (Luke 3:16). Many scholars view the reference to “fire” as referring to the spiritually purifying presence of God and the refining work of God’s Spirit. The context of this passage, however, could mean that “fire” refers to judgment (Matthew 3:12; Luke 3:17); “unquenchable fire” is the same as the “lake of fire” in Revelation 20:10; Revelation 20:14; Revelation 20:15. Like the Old Testament prophets, John did not see or describe the time gap between the first and second coming of Christ. Jesus came first as the Messiah, to save people spiritually and baptize them in the Holy Spirit (Matthew 3:11; Acts 1:5). He will come again as the judge who separates the wheat from the chaff, the godly from the ungodly (Matthew 3:12; Revelation 20:15).
