John clearly states that he (John) needed to baptized with the Holy Ghost and fire by Jesus. Obviously, the Spirit of the LORD was upon John the baptists like as in all the other prophets, but the Holy Spirit did not indwell them. We are the living temples made without hands in whom the Spirit resides in.
Heb 11:39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: (not exactly in context) |
How do you know that John B was speaking of Spirit baptism? why not water baptisM?
What about this verse: For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb. How do you harmonize this verse with the others?
