Holy Spirit Baptism for a Christian

Should a Believer Seek the Baptism of the Holy Spirit?

The answer is yes, and the answer is found in the Gospels. The Lord Jesus Himself was baptized in the water, and the Holy Spirit and many passages of the Scripture tell us that the Lord Jesus is the one that baptizes with the Holy Spirit (See for example Luke 3:16, Luke 3:21-22, Luke 12:50, Matthew 3:13-17, Mark 1:9-12, Luke 3:21-22, John 3:32-34, Matthew 3:11-12, Mark 1:7-8, Luke 3:16-17, John 3:34-35, John 1:33, John 3:23, Mark 16:16). A true believer in God’s beloved Son should follow all the teachings and follow the example in the behavior of the beloved Son of God to live a faithful Christian life. While staying with His disciples in Jerusalem, after His bodily resurrection, the Lord Jesus ordered His disciples to wait for the promise of the Father, namely, the baptism of the Holy Spirit saying to them: “And behold, I am sending out the promise of My Father upon you; but remain you in the city, until you be clothed with power from on high,” (Luke 24:49), and in Acts 1:4, “you heard from Me; for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” Finally, in Acts chapter 2, we witness the coming of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples: “and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance,” (Acts 2:1-13). The baptism of the Holy Spirit, the promise of the Father, is for all believers in the beloved Son of God, not only for the ones that waited at that time in Jerusalem.

How Can a Believer Receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit?

One specific verse that we linked to the baptism of the Holy Spirit practice is John 1:33. In the comments related to this verse, we explain what the baptism of the Holy Spirit is and how a believer can get the baptism of the Holy Spirit by speaking in tongues (See Comments John 1:33). Other essential comments that we posted related to the baptism of the Holy Spirit can be found in Matthew 16:18, and Luke 12:50. We encourage all believers through prayer and fasting to ask mercy from the Father in the name of the Lord Jesus to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Pray together with other supporting believers and keep asking and knocking, and the Lord will pour out His blessing.
