Is there any chance that you're going to answer the question I asked?That is odd. Church history knows nothing of the sort!

Did you not notice that this thread is about what Peter wrote concerning water baptism—and not about Jesus baptizing us with the Holy Spirit and fire?I think John said it well, He {Jesus} will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. Luke 3:16-17
One will be baptized by the Holy Spirit for salvation, those that believe and by fire for judgement, those that do not believe.

Romans 9 isn't even about any individual's salvation anyway. Romans 9 is about the nation of Israel being cut off because of unbelief. Romans 9 is Jeremiah 18 being applied to the NATION of Israel. It isn't about how, why or whether some particular person gets saved or not.Wrong.
'Belief' is not in the context. It's whether one belongs to the devil or not, whether one is 'His wheat' or 'the chaff' - Romans 9:21-23.
7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said unto them, Ye offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of repentance:
9 and think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
10 And even now the axe lieth at the root of the trees: every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
11 I indeed baptize you in water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire:
12 whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor; and he will gather his wheat into the garner, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire. Mt 3
No mention of faith here.

Romans 9 Isn't What You Think It Is
So when is one baptized with the Holy Spirit?
The prophet is speaking to corporate Israel. This baptism of the spirit began at Pentecost. The baptism of fire was the tribulation that came upon 'that generation' on whom all the blood shed on the land came upon (Matthew 23:33-36), "even now the axe lieth at the root of the trees" - 1 Thessalonians 2:15-16.
Evidently?
I didn't notice that it was a link. I thought you were asking the question.
Jews used to baptize everyone and everything in any number of ways and for all kinds of reasons.Dozens?
