Mark 1:8 is surely an interpolation

I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
(Mak 1:8)

Given:
1) the presence of the fire/holy spirit in Acts 2 during the Pentecost
1) the absence of any reference to a fire by Jesus in Mark (also only to remember that he is the guy predicted by John)

my conclusion is that Mark 1:8 is interpolation based on Acts.
