Bible Verses About Baptism With the Holy Spirit

The festival of Shavu‘ot arrived, and the believers all gathered together in one place.

Suddenly there came a sound from the sky like the roar of a violent wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.

Then they saw what looked like tongues of fire, which separated and came to rest on each one of them.

They were all filled with the Ruach HaKodesh and began to talk in different languages, as the Spirit enabled them to speak.

He asked them, “Did you receive the Ruach HaKodesh when you came to trust?” “No,” they said to him, “we have never even heard that there is such a thing as the Ruach HaKodesh.”

“In that case,” he said, “into what were you immersed?” “The immersion of Yochanan,” they answered.

Sha’ul said, “Yochanan practiced an immersion in connection with turning from sin to God; but he told the people to put their trust in the one who would come after him, that is, in Yeshua.”

On hearing this, they were immersed into the name of the Lord Yeshua;

and when Sha’ul placed his hands on them, the Ruach HaKodesh came upon them; so that they began speaking in tongues and prophesying.
