occurs
Matt. 3:11
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: (Matthew 3:11)
; and
Luke 3:16
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: (Luke 3:16)
only, and in each case is interpreted by the verse that follows, where the wheat (those baptized with the Holy Ghost) are distinguished from the chaff (those baptized with God’s fiery judgment). None but Christ was baptized with both, the one here, the other at the cross, alluded to
Luke 12:50
50
But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished! (Luke 12:50)
. To apply it to Acts 2 is wrong, for that is the baptism of the Holy Ghost,
not of fire,
though it had the appearance of cloven tongues of fire.
