Flesh men's bodies are made from the elements of the earth, in other words, "dirt".
John is saying that he, within himself, as this dirt, is not even fit enough for YAHSHUA'S feet to walk upon....not fit
enough, within himself, for The Word to be carried forth.
Yet, through YAHSHUA, and because of CHRIST, The Anointed One, we each can become a worthy bit of the
earth that can be utilized to bring forth HIS WORD, THE LIVING WORD, YAHSHUA, JESUS CHRIST.
We can become clean spiritually through repentance and baptism, and therefore become fit servants for HIS use.

John continues to bring forth that which each should understand about YAHSHUA, JESUS CHRIST.

"
he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire"
The baptism, that YAHSHUA shall place upon HIS servants, shall not be only the cleansing of the flesh man of his
sins, but the total cleansing and preparation of the servant's spirit and soul.
Each vessel (servant) must be cleansed by HIS fire in order to become fit for HIS HOLY SPIRIT to be poured into.
This "
fire" is as lightning, and refers to HIS Sword...Word of Truth.

Acts 2:1-4
1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. (KJV)


Is the 'sealing' the same event as the 'baptism of fire'?
No, one must first be cleansed, then 'sealed' in order to then be "
baptize with the Holy Ghost, and with fire".

Acts 2:1
1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. (KJV)


In other words, these were all sealed and of one accord.
