Baptism in the Holy Spirit



The main evidence that someone is being filled with the Holy Spirit is a demonstration of power for ministry in some kind of vocal way. This includes speaking in other tongues, prophecy, singing, preaching, proclaiming, or speaking boldly. Being filled with the Holy Spirit is an experience that is continuous. It’s a lifestyle! The Father fills us with His Holy Spirit so that we can have power to live our lives and minister to others.
