  parts, and write it in their hearts and will be
  their God, and they shall be my people.
• And they shall teach no more every man his
  neighbour, and every man his brother, saying,
  Know the LORD for they shall all know me, from

20
The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is promised to you!
21
They Shall Speak in Tongues!

• The initial (first) evidence of the baptism of
  the Holy Spirit is speaking in other tongues, as
  the Spirit gives the utterance.

22
The Book of Acts provides five occurrences of
people receiving the Spirit.

• Three of these accounts specify speaking in
  tongues as the initial proof of receiving the
  baptism of the Holy Spirit

23
Lets Look at the Scriptures

• And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost,
  and began to speak with other tongues, as the
  Spirit gave them utterance
• (Acts 24).

24
Lets Look at the Scriptures

• While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy
  Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. And
  they of the circumcision which believed were
  astonished, as many as came with Peter, because
  that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift
  of the Holy Ghost. For they heard them speak with
  tongues, and magnify God
• (Acts 1044-45).

25
Lets Look at the Scriptures

• Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye
  believed? And they said unto him, We have not so
  much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.
  And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye
  baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.
  Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the
  baptism of repentance, saying unto the people,
  that they should believe on him which should come
  after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. When they
  heard this, they were baptized in the name of the
  Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid his hands upon
  them, the Holy Ghost came on them and they spake
  with tongues, and prophesied
• (Acts 192-6).

26
Lets Look at the Scriptures

• And these signs shall follow them that believe
  In my name shall they cast out devils they shall
  speak with new tongues
• (Mark 1617).

27
Lets Look at the Scriptures

• And, behold, I send the promise of my Father
  upon you but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem,
  until ye be endued with power from on high
• (Luke 2449).

28
Conclusion

• Speaking in tongues is the initial evidence of
  receiving the Holy Spirit.
