Acts 2
Paul said, “And my speech and my preaching as not in enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the spirit and of power; that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men but in the power of God” (2 Cor. 2:4,5).
This is a powerful statement. Paul had received the fire of God. He was immersed in fire.
To do the word of God effectively and to be His witness, we need to be immersed in fire. It is possible to be baptized with the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues and have fire. It is possible to be baptized in water and not have fire.
