John 1:33 (NASB):
I did not recognize Him, but He who sent me to baptize in water said to me, ‘He upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon Him, this is the One who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.’
What is this verse directly referring to, when talking about Jesus baptizing in the Holy Spirit? Is this referring to the future baptism of the Spirit that will come at Pentecost in Acts, or is it referring to Jesus baptizing His followers in the Holy Spirit before His death and resurrection? I think the directness of this sentence (Jesus actively baptizing in the Holy Spirit) makes me wonder if He baptized those with the Holy Spirti pre-Pentecost.
