Baptism of Fire

 
occurs Matt. 3:11; and 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. 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.
