When many Pharisees and Sadducees came out to John the Baptizer, he called them “brood of vipers.” He spoke of the coming One and said: “That one will baptize you people with the Holy Spirit and with fire.” (Mt 3:7, 11; Lu 3:16) The baptism with fire is not the same as baptism with the Holy Spirit. The fiery baptism could not be, as some say, the tongues of fire at Pentecost, for the disciples there were not immersed in fire. (Ac 2:3) John told his listeners that there would be a division, there would be a gathering of the wheat, after which the chaff would be burned up with fire that could not be put out. (Mt 3:12) He pointed out that the fire would not be a blessing or a reward but would be because ‘the tree did not produce fine fruit.’—Mt 3:10; Lu 3:9. Using fire as a symbol of destruction, Jesus foretold the execution of the wicked to take place during his presence, saying: “On the day that Lot came out of Sodom it rained fire and sulphur from heaven and destroyed them all. The same way it will be on that day when the Son of man is to be revealed.” (Lu 17:29, 30; Mt 13:49, 50) Other instances of fire representing, not a saving force, but a destructive one, are found at 2 Thessalonians 1:8; Jude 7; and 2 Peter 3:7, 10. |

Luke 12:49-50 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled? 50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished! I have always been taught that the Holy Spirit was a "fire". In fact, some denominations depict the Holy Spirit by a flame. Janae. |

Matt 10:34: "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword." The sword or fire that Jesus set ablaze caused Jesus himself much distress, including his finish or death. The tongues of fire at Pentecost were a manifestation of the Holy Spirit, but individuals were not immersed in fire as in true water baptism. The fire Jesus speaks of is similar to that James relates at James 3:5,6. This fire consumes or destroys those without the Holy Spirit, and tries to overtake those that have been baptized with Christ toward a faithful dedication to God. One can find a denomination that will support virtually any belief imaginable, but you and I are concerned with the truth. |
