Interesting question? Why were I "baptised" with the Holy Spirit?
I would say I experienced the Lord while glorifying Christ. I still bring praise and glory to Christ. That is the ministry of the Spirit in our lives.
That is what happens. I did not chose it or had a reason. I am sorry if I have upset you. I say something to be provocative. It works for some. In this environment enemies can appear friends and friends enemies. Does this help you?
I would say I was baptized with the HOLY SPIRIT through the FAITH which also is a gift from GOD, because GOD opened the eyes and ears of my heart to the knee-buckling/heart-rending TRUTH of CHRIST and the MESSAGE of THE CROSS, and there was nothing else that I could do, but understand the TRUTH of THE GOSPEL, understand how far all have fallen short of GOD'S GLORY, understand how ALL were in need of a SAVIOR...
And it was then that I was baptized into CHRIST and risen in HIM a NEW CREATION set apart and marked as belonging to GOD in HIS SON..born again, washed, the soul of my slate wiped clean, a NEW CREATION by HIS LIFE-GIVING SPIRIT...
It was afterwards, in my glorying that it was made evident that what GOD had done, was done...
If you do not believe this,
Go review the story of Cornelius and understand that when the HOLY SPIRIT was poured out, there isn't ANYTHING that you can do to STOP from GLORIFYING CHRIST
For that is exactly what the HOLY SPIRIT does.
HE glorifies THE SON...to the GLORY of THE FATHER...
Also, review Acts 18 and 19 and understand that those born of HIS SPIRIT were able to discern something "off" in Apollos...and when Paul heard about it, he went back to Apollos' home to "see about Apollos' disciples".
I suggest you read that as well...
