11. I use water to baptize you to show that you have turned away from your sinful way of thinking and doing what God does not want, and you have turned to God. But the Person who will come after I have finished my work, is much more powerful than I am. I am not good enough to even carry His sandals. It is with the Holy Spirit and fire He will baptize you.
