Spirit and fire

Saul sends three sets of men to capture David. As they approach, the Spirit falls on them and they prophesy. Mission unaccomplished.

Ahaziah sends three sets of men to capture Elijah. As they approach, fire falls on them and they burn up – until the captain of the last group gets the hint and shows some deference to Elijah.

Spirit-baptism is royal; fire-baptism is prophetic.
