Baptism of the Holy Spirit

[Doodlebug02]

How does one know when they are baptised by the Holy Spirit? I know that I am but I don't know how I know. I guess it is because I can pray in tongues. I have no idea what if any necessary indicators there are. Does anybody know?

It would be best to talk with your pastor about this...

In Acts chapter 2 they spoke in other tongues as the Spirit gave the utterance. That is how it is easy to know for sure you have been baptised in the holy Spirit.

Holy thread resurrection, Batman!

Meh, while I'm here, I might as well make a useful contribution. You know you're baptized with the Holy Spirit when you're baptized in water in the name of the Holy Trinity (see Matthew 28:19, the Didache, Acts 2, Titus 3:15, 1 Peter 3)

Lol. Well, there are so few threads in this section; it doesn't seem to matter.

I don't get the connection with Titus 3:15. Care to explain?

Lol true.

That's what I get for slapping down a verse number out of blind memory, lol. I was close, at least... I really meant Titus 3:5, which goes, "not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,"

That could mean baptism.

Yeah, that's what I was going for. I don't separate water baptism in the name of the Holy Trinity from baptism of the Holy Spirit.
