What Is the Baptism of the Holy Spirit?

[honeybunnyreal]

When I received the Holy Spirit I didn’t speak in tongues... but I felt like a 2, 000 lb. weight was taken off my shoulders, and I felt electrified.... I had power to overcome my sins, everything looked brighter, it was like a black cloud over my entire house was removed.... I feel I was delivered from demonic spirits for sure.... Thank you God!!

I heard the gospel 20 years ago for the first time . I responded to God’s voice and I wanted to be saved and forgiven of my sinful life. I had so much struggle with sin after I got saved and I was a complete failure at being obedient but I never doubted my relationship with Christ because my conversion experience was so powerful! After 20 years of trying so hard to live the Christian life I finally turned from myself and doing things my way and I repented from focusing on myself and my appearance. I could finally see Christ in the Bible as Holy and pure and righteous! I bowed my will to everything the Bible said to do and I finally found power to obey. Now I would rather die than to dishonor Him with a disobedient life. I realize I don’t obey perfectly and I am still sinful but my affections for sin are now my affections for Christ. I finally had a new regenerated heart and it has made all the difference. I say this to beware of powerful emotional experiences because I never doubted mine and I did not have saving faith or the Holy Spirit because I did not understand the gospel the way I needed to. God gave me the Holy Spirit the day I truly repented and believed and that was also granted by Him. I hope this helps anyone struggling and trying so hard but failing. Matthew 7:18 Remember a good tree cannot produce bad fruit. If your Christian life is marked by bad fruit maybe you need to re-examine your understanding of the Gospel and who Christ really is, He is Lord.

Too many people think that God fills you with emotions God gives you the word of Truth which is the Bible read the Bible he will tell you the truth your emotions will lie to you they are of the flesh and we should not trust our emotions but trust in the truth of the word of God

when the Holy Spirit decended upon me, there was absolutely No Doubt that the Spirit decended upon me.  So how can everyone be questioning it?  There is no way to miss the experience.

I've been a skeptic my whole life but the holy spirit has startled me twice and changed my life.

[misscoyify]

I knew I had the Holy Spirit in me because I could no longer do the things I used to do. I would get these convictions that I could not ignore!

It’s the process through justification and sanctification. I was baptized in the Holy Spirit and asked god to renew my mind body and soul and the next day I woke up and I was totally different human being. Still am. I stay away from sin, I stopped cursing, I don’t say gods name in vein no more and I feel like a floating cloud. Also I received the gifts of tongues. Was not in a fluent language but in a language the spirit can speak through me that only god understands. He helps me pray. It’s like a straight line to god when I pray.

Act 11:16

16. And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’

[joshuamartinpryce]

The baptism in the Holy Spirit, is, for me, an unbelievable empowerment in the christian walk with Jesus Christ.

Holy Spirit Baptism: when person receives Holy Spirit (person) He starts convicting him showing him his sins and then that person feels bad and says I will not do this again just like mother holding child's ear and asking him will u do it again and child says No mummy...so God gives power to that person to overcome/fight sin. Then comes transformation...

My hearts on fire for Jesus. I’m walking in spirit. I say this to you all. He that giveth life can take it away, but very truly I say this to you, he who giveth life can also raise it up again.

I feel like some people question "have I been filled with the Holy Spirit or not?" because people think you can only be filled if you speak in tongues. I always questioned weather I'm filled or not because I never spoke in tongues, but now I have a better understanding of the Holy Spirit and can say that I have been filled.

Just a reminder, that yes you can speak in tongues and be filled, but that doesn't mean the Holy Spirit will always be with you. I know a lot of people who were filled and turn back to wickedness.

[jimbuford]

It is amazing how someone can describe something they know so little about. One does not have to be more spiritual to receive the Baptism in the Holy Spirit but it is available.
I was saved and received the Holy Spirit when I was about eleven. But I knew something was still missing for the Word of God still did not really come alive to me. When I was 30 I was baptized in the Spirit and spoke in tongues and the Word of God became alive. Paul said he was glad he spoke in tongues and said to forbid not to speak in tongues. I'm sorry but an argument will just not trump an experience based on the Bible. I would have gone to Heaven before I received the baptism but there is just no comparison to my life before and since.

A lot of people proclaim the speak in tongues but never met someone who can translate

[julienielsen]

I wasn't baptized in the Holy Spirit until about a year after I got saved. I received Jesus as my Lord and Savior, then the next year I heard about receiving baptism of the Holy Spirit. I was told to ask God for it and receive it . A day or so later I started to hear things in my spirit. Then I let them come out of my spirit and out of my mouth later that day.

[friarrodneyburnap]

Yes I am filled, Baptized in the Holy Ghost and yes I spoke in Tongues...and dunamis I received was evident with my walk with the Lord ever since, I definitely have a stronger desire to see other men saved then I did before being filled with the Holy Ghost...I also have a stronger desire to serve God, pray read my Bible Witness and see other men find Destiny in Christ...I am a witness to the Holy Ghost Baptism is for today...

I believe I felt the Holy Spirit enter my body a few times. I'm assuming that means In the Spirit for intoxicating short-term periods. I believe it was God telling me he was there when I was showing total true faith. It was like several huge coincidence pertaining to the Father hinting I needed baptism. It was the realest experience I ever felt. And once when I was a kid he proved himself to me once. I tried to shut off my street light with mind control. I asked God to show me a sign and shut off our street light and as soon as I said light the light went out. Either that was a really major coincidence or God was showing me he was there. That really scared me as a kid. What are the odds.
