Repentance comes FIRST, then you can be reborn by the spirit.
I have been baptised in the holy spirit. In prayer a few days after i came to the Lord, I was tellign him that i don't want to be incharge of my life anymore. I asked him for his spirit, and for him to take my addictions away. I felt him reach down,and lift a heavy burden up out of me, and immidately replace it with this warm ness. I felt changed in a minute. Like i was a NEW person.
I didnt speak in any tounges, But i DID start praising him with words i had never uttered to God in my life, and Was struck with such an overwhelming joy/peace that i just couldnt stop laughing(quietly, but intensly...it was at 3 in the morning) and praising Jesus. The Greatest experience of my life(not that we should ALWAYS go from experiences) and i think i tasted a small bit of heaven right then and there. (and have since in prayer)
All this was BEFORE i was Water baptised.( the order of these thigns dont matter..GOD knows you heart. he knows what you will do or wont do) you NEED the baptism of the holy spirit. You WILL know if you received it. Becasue you WILL be a compeltely new person, changed, cleanesed. Made new. it was all CALM and PEACEFULL...no rolling or screaming. INTENSE but calm(i know soudns like a paradox...its not)
