Matthew 3:11-12, I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 12 His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. (NKJV)

 

John the baptist declared that he baptized with water which is for repentance, but Jesus would baptize with the Holy Spirit and fire! The baptism of the Holy Spirit is for power, and the baptism of fire is to separate us from the world, it is there to burn out the chaff, It will pull us closer to God!
