THE BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
The baptism in the HOLY SPIRIT is a gift from heaven. The believer who receives this gift is given supernatural power to witness and serve as a disciple of JESUS.
Believers who receive this gift are marked by their ability to speak or pray in a language that is unknown to them. This mark of gift is given by the HOLY SPIRIT. This is why it is sometimes called praying in the HOLY SPIRIT. The Bible also calls it "speaking in other tongues" (Acts 2:4). In the New Testament church, this experience was considered normal for all believers.
By praying in this language, the Christian builds up his own spiritual life. He puts himself in direct and constant communion with GOD. This opens a heavenly gateway that enables both the gift and the fruits of the HOLY SPIRIT to be worked out in the life of the believer. (Acts 2:17-18).
