Bible Note: Clarification . . . . . . . . . Mt 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. (KJV) "*with...fire*. Because fire is used throughout this context as a means of judgment (Mt 3:10, 12), this must speak of a baptism of judgment upon the unrepentant" (page 1397, The MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997). "*and fire*. Probably a reference to the judgments associated with the return of Christ (v. 12; Mal. 3:1-5; 4:1-3)" (page 1448, Ryrie Study Bible, Moody Press, 1976, 1978). "*with the Holy Spirit and fire* . . . Here 'fire' may refer to judgment to come (see v. 12)" (page 1370, Zondervan NASB Study Bible, Zondervan, 1999). Grace to all, kalos |
