What are the two outcomes for someone who accepts versus rejects the Spirit's baptism?
Accepting the Spirit’s baptism means becoming a believer and experiencing that baptism, while rejecting it means remaining lost and, one day, being placed into the Lake of Fire. The choice is presented as either belief with the Spirit’s baptism or rejection resulting in judgment for the lost.
Les teaches that these are the two choices set before people: a person can become a believer and experience the baptism of the Spirit, or reject it and one day be placed into the Lake of Fire for the lost. He connects this to Matthew 3:12. The surrounding context also moves to the baptism of Jesus, where the Spirit of God descends like a dove, a voice from heaven speaks, and all three members of the Trinity are present.
