Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Believer's Baptism

The verse speaks of a future baptism with the Holy Ghost for "ye" (the apostles), which is distinct from water baptism and does not explicitly link it to their personal belief, repentance, or confession at that specific moment, but rather as a promised event.
