8th FUNDAMENTAL TRUTH

INITIAL PHYSICAL EVIDENCE OF BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT

The baptism of believers in the Holy Spirit is witnessed by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit of God gives them utterance (Acts 2:4). What is the immediate indication that one may point to as witness of the experience itself? Has God provided such an indicator? If one concludes that the Book of Acts is not only a descriptive history, but also has a theological purpose, and that the experience of the Apostolic Church, which it records, is indeed normative for the Church of all ages, then one can answer the question with a resounding yes.
