1:13-15 Was John baptized in the spirit from his mother's womb?

John was filled with, but not baptized in, the Holy Spirit.

The baptism in the Spirit was not given until the day of Pentecost (cp Joel 2:28-29; Lk 24:49; Jn 7:37-39; Ac 1:1-8; 2:1-4, 16-18).

Jesus baptizes believers in the Holy Spirit (cp Mt 3:11; Mk 1:8).
