Baptism in the Holy Spirit

To be plunged into the Holy Spirit's life and power

Baptism in the Holy Spirit refers to the believer's reception of, or immersion in, the Holy Spirit, with roots in Pentecost and the Gospels. The traditions differ on what it is: Pentecostal and charismatic Christians often treat it as a distinct experience following conversion, frequently marked by spiritual gifts, while others identify it with conversion itself or with water baptism rather than a separate event.
