What is the Evidence of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit?

Holy Spirit Baptism

Proof?

Have you ever wondered if speaking in tongues proves a person has been baptized in the Holy Spirit? 

The Apostolic Church of Pentecost has in its statement of faith, “We believe in the baptism with the Holy Spirit as an experience subsequent to salvation with the Scriptural evidence; namely, speaking in tongues.” Is there a biblical basis for this statement of faith or is it merely a relic of the early Pentecostal period? More importantly, God is interested in Christians living an empowered life!  The Holy Spirit wants us to have regular power encounters with Him.  These power encounters enable us to live an exciting and miraculous life, and to be bold and effective witnesses for God’s Kingdom.  

Let’s consider the powerful baptism in the Holy Spirit and prepare to be filled with God Himself!

Holy Spirit is with us!

History has clearly shown the impact that baptism in the Holy Spirit has had in the world. Scripture speaks of positive fruit that can develop as we speak in tongues.

    Have you neglected this gift?  Have you underestimated what your prayer language can do? 

    Reflect on these questions and answer in the discussion.

    I think it’s awesome to speak in tongues. I have found that at times when I may be stressed that quietly speaking in tongues gives me peace and I am able to refocus my attention onto the Lord, and away from allowing the stress to continue. I have also found that I will pray in tongues as I wait for the Lord to give me His words to pray when praying for someone. There have been times while driving the Lord will have me pray in tongues. He knows what He has me praying for although I do not.

    I try not to neglect this gift. I pray daily in the spirit . But I could even use it more often . I have at times underestimated this gift. Holy Spirit help me to be more attentive to praying more often in tongues.

      @VGaffney awesome. The desire to practice speaking in tongues always proceeds actually doing it. May God continue to stir hunger in your heart.

    I can honestly say that I have neglected this gift. I think it has to do with doubts and some theologies. But overall, I do not see the harm in speaking in tongues. It is powerful. After I watched this video I stated praying in tongues and I felt something. I am going to start practicing praying in tongues more. I also want to pray for interpretation of tongues as well.
