You are falsely accusing me of being dishonest. So let me show you that Luke 3 says the very same thing: 16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire: 17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
What is unquenchable fire in the Bible, and for whom was it created? Christ said that Hell (the Lake of Fire) was created for the devil and his angels. But that is not the only purpose of Hell. Here is what the Bible says about "the chaff" -- those destined for "unquenchable fire": But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. (Rev 21:8)
In your zeal to promote the false idea of everyone speaking in tongues, you have gone into another error. The context of the passage makes it clear that the fire that John the Baptist was talking about was the fire of Hell. Also the word "purge" means purify. God will purify the earth by removing all sin and evil from it.

WOW NEHEMIAH 6, DISHONEST ? ... maybe not best or correct word I could have used ... I think you are sincere ... but sincerely WRONG. You cannot mix together ... Luke 3.16 with 3.17. They are talking about TWO DIFFERENT matters. You know chapters and verse numbers were inserted by translators for reference. there is a TRANSITION in thought/teaching ABOUT 2 different SUBJECTS ... FROM Luke 16 to Luke 17.
3.16 clearly says Jesus with ... baptize ... believers . with FIRE . How can you not see that ? = holy fire ... Acts 2.3.
3.17 is NOT talking about the BAPTISM John spoke about in 3.16 ... this is now a new subject ... Believers are gathered by Jesus ... THEN ... unbelievers ... are BURNED IN fire ( not Baptized ) = true !
Out of the millions of Christians who were saved since Pentecost, what small fraction spoke in tongues? Do you have any idea? So you are actually claiming that the majority of Christians did not receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Which is total nonsense. Even the 3,000 Jews who were saved on the day of Pentecost did not speak in tongues. Had they done so, it would have certainly been recorded.

Nehemiah 6 YOU SAID

Every Christian, who is Born Again, receives ... is given ... the INDWELLING of the Holy Spirit. You are correct !
However, NO ... not every Christian is Baptized with/in Holy Spirit ... like the 120 in the Upper room.
Yes the 3000 Jews at day of Pentecost ... also received the Born Again experience ... Holy Spirit IN them ... when they repented ... before they were water baptized. BUT WHAT YOUR REFUSE TO SEE ... is that the JEWS ... also received ... the BAPTISM of the HOLY Spirit ( UPON them ... not IN them ) ... just like the 120.
The Baptism of Holy Spirit ... it is a second manifestation.
What FRACTION speak in tongues ? Only God knows. BUT, it is A REAL gift God gives to those who want and believe. It is a real gift and it happens today. HOWEVER, what I'm trying to tell you ...speaking in tongues ... is God's PROOF ... the Born Again believer ... has received the Baptism of HS. This SECOND MANIFESTATION is different from that of the Born Again experience ( INDWELLING experience of HS in believer's life ).
Why don't you pray ... ask God if there is a TWOFOLD manifestation of HS in the life of believers ... yesterday ... and today ?
God bless your honest ... sincere heart ... but, in honesty I believe ( God my witness --- He knows ) you are wrong and what I'm saying is the correct interpretation of scripture chronology/doctrine.
