From Paul, in Ephesians...
I believe that baptism in the Spirit happens when we are water baptized (out of obedience, as commanded) upon our acceptance of Jesus as our savior.
I do not believe scripture supports multiple baptism "occasions".

I agree with your last sentence there. We are told there is one baptism, one body, one faith.
If there is only one baptism, as scripture states, the men that paul asked: what baptism did you receive? - and they said: Johns baptism/water baptism, why would they need some other baptism?
In other words, if as you believe, we receive the Spirit when we are water baptized, why did these men paul spoke with not receive the Spirit upon water baptism?
Hello by the way. I haven't run across you in some time!
