As concerns the individual child of God, the nature of the power of the baptism with the Spirit is indicated by John the Baptist when he says that we are baptized "with the Holy Ghost and fire." We receive the Spirit as a fire; He dwells and works in us as a fire.
Tungkol naman sa bawat anak ng Dios, ang likas na kapangyarihan ng bautismo sa Espiritu ay ipinahayag ni Juan Bautista nang sinabi niya na tayo ay binautismuhan “sa Espiritu Santo at apoy.” Tinanggap natin ang Espiritu bilang isang apoy; nananahan Siya at gumagawa sa atin bilang isang apoy.
