The Baptism with the Holy Spirit, according to Acts
2:4, is given to believers who ask for it. The Baptism with the Holy Spirit
is a gift from God. This experience may be accompanied by the evidence of
speaking in other tongues as the Holy Spirit gives utterance.

that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he
shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire (Matthew 3:11)

Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive,
because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth
with you, and shall be in you.
(John 14:16-17)

be any Holy Ghost.
And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized?
