Synonymous with the scriptural terms “born again,” “born of the Spirit, “second birth,” and “spiritual rebirth,” the baptism of fire is the actual reception of the Holy Ghost by an individual … In the scriptures, fire is a symbol both of purification and of the presence of God. The term “refiner’s fire” (Malachi 3:2) denotes a transformation of something from a lower state to a higher through a process that eliminates impurities and coarser elements. Spiritually speaking, the Holy Ghost refines and purifies us and brings about a “mighty change” of heart and soul (Mosiah 5:2, 7).— LDS Beliefs
