Pentecostals and Charismatics usually believe that the meaning of ‘Baptism in Fire’ is that of an emotional / passionate desire for God. However, when the Bible is carefully examined, that is not a correct understanding. The Bible teaches that God’s people being in fire points to the trials they will endure as a Christian for their purification. Of course, Pentecostals and Charismatics do not like to hear that because they believe that the Christian life is a life of abundance and fulfillment of their worldly desires.
