Baptism in the Holy Spirit

Mike explained the baptism in the Holy Spirit by describing Pentecost, where 120 believers—already born again—were suddenly filled with the Spirit, accompanied by signs like a rushing wind, tongues of fire, and speaking in different languages, showing empowerment rather than salvation itself. He emphasised that the Holy Spirit actively works within believers—bringing new life, shaping their character, and enabling them for service—and concluded that this baptism is a real, personal experience that confirms our adoption into God’s family, fills us with His love, assures us of salvation, and is something believers are encouraged to seek as a deeper, life‑changing relationship with God.
