PRAISING GOD IS A SIGN OF SPIRIT BAPTISM
Acts 10:45-6 1Corinthians 12:3 1John 2:23 1John 4:2 1John 4:15
SPEAKING IN TONGUES IS A SIGN OF RECEIVING THE SPIRIT BUT NOT ALL SHALL SPEAK IN TONGUES
1Corinthians 12:30
Baptism in the Spirit is Essential to being a Christian. Gentiles cannot be born again unless they are Baptized in the Spirit. Baptism in the Spirit is not the same as speaking in tongues. Not all shall speak in tongues. But all need to be Baptized in the Spirit. If you are Born again, you have received and have been Baptized in the Spirit.
THERE ARE ALSO OTHER MANIFESTATIONS OF THE SPIRIT
Mark 16:17-20 1Corinthians 12:7
Note that Mark says that these signs will accompany those who believe (not those who are baptized in the Holy Spirit) again showing the link between believing and baptism in the Holy Spirit.
FAITH WITHOUT WORKS (AS IS A TREE WITHOUT FRUIT)
James 2:14-26
JESUS HAD TO BE GLORIFIED BEFORE THE HOLY SPIRIT COULD BE GIVEN TO THE JEWISH BELIEVERS AND LATER THE GENTILE BELIEVERS
John 7:38-39 John 16:7-8 Acts 11:19-20
PETER HAD TO OPEN THE DOOR FOR THE GENTILES BEFORE THEY COULD RECEIVE THE SPIRIT
