Regeneration Buried with Christ into death,
so that we might be raised to life.
(Romans 6)
Conversion
Regeneration
Born of Water
Eating His flesh
Live Forever
Solely By Grace
I am the bread of life:
he that cometh to me shall never hunger;
AND he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
(John 6:35)
Conversion
Born of Spirit
Drinking His blood
Hath Eternal Life
By Faith & Works
Except a man be born of water AND of the Spirit,
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
(John 3:5)

Matthew 3:11 He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and [with] fire:

There are several passages where fire is used by God in chastening His children, and is described as a purification, such as removing impurities from gold. It is this fire to which John makes reference in this passage. John makes reference to two possible outcomes for the children of God. If they believe and are obedient, they will receive the Holy Ghost as a reward, and with it the earnest of thier eternal inheritance, which is life and salvation in this present world. If however, they choose not to be obedient, they will be chastened with fire.
