Matthew3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he will baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire.
John the Baptizer promises that the one coming after him will baptize us with the Holy Spirit and with fire. John baptized with water. This was unto repentance, so that the penitent baptized person would be ready to believe and receive the Gospel of forgiveness and salvation through the Messiah. It worked. Many people repented, were baptized, and went on to follow Jesus. The Kingdom was growing.
When we were baptized we were baptized with water connected to the Word. That we could see and hear. But also with that, something mighty powerful happened in the heavenly realm, the spiritual world. We were filled with Spirit and fire.
”Baptized with the Holy Ghost” means to be over flooded with God and His Life, which drowns out the Old Man, Sin, Death, all Evil, and Satan within. Violence happens, and violence recurs every day that we remember our Baptism with repentance and faith. We arise daily with New Life, renewed, restored, refreshed, cleansed, and whole.
Violence also happens because we are baptized with fire. Fire is dangerous but very useful when it burns up wasted and useless stuff along with toxic and harmful substances. and attitudes. No one likes to be burned, but we know the necessity of it. The Spirit knows how to control the fire in order to precisely burn away what gets in the way of our sanctification.
