The Baptism of the Holy Spirit

What is the Baptism of the Holy Spirit thoughts? What does the Word
Say? - John 3:6-7,Mark 1:7-8,Acts 1:5-8

Baptism of the Holy Spirit happens only once at the moment of conversion. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is the act of the Holy Spirit by which He places a person into the church, the body of Christ - see: 1 John 2:27,1 Cor 12:13

• Does the Bible ever command to be Baptized with the Spirit?
• Jesus said many times you Christians would be

The Spirit's control results in improved judgment.
