Some people believe that when you become a christian,you have automatically received the Holyspirit baptism.This isn't true.
In Acts 8:12-17, these people accepted Jesus as their saviour and were even baptised in water but didn't receive the Holyspirit baptism until the Apostles laid hands on them.
From here,we can tell its a seperate event and its proof that we now belong to God.Ephesians 1:13-14
Its possible to receive the Holyspirit baptism even before you are baptised in water(Acts 10:44-48).
Its God's promise to all who believe and if u haven't received the Holyspirit baptism,seek God for it because u can't overcome sin without the Holyspirit.
Its not all the time that you have to be laid hands on before you receive the Holyspirit baptism.You can ask God for it in prayer.God is willing to give you the Holyspirit. Luke 11:11-13
If you trully desire the Holyspirit baptism,seek God in prayer,with faith.Do not be lazy in prayer but pray with all your heart and God will answer you.
Luke 24:49"And behold,I send the promise of my Father upon you:but tarry in the city of Jerusalem,until you are endued with power from on high."
Also read; John 14:15-18,Acts 2:1-4
Only with the Holyspirit baptism can your flesh be crucified.You cannot enter the kingdom of heaven without the Holyspirit baptism.John 3:5-6"Jesus answered,verily verily I say unto thee,execpt a man be born of water AND of the Spirit,he cannot enter the kingdom of God.That which is born of flesh is flesh,and that which is born of spirit is spirit."
Its impossible to overcome sin without the Holyspirit,human efforts accomplish nothing,but the Holyspirit overcomes.
Its time to seek God for the Holyspirit,its His promise to all who believe.Do not be found with an empty oil lamp on that day.
Seek God while He maybe found.
The Holyspirit baptism is a seperate event from water baptism.
