The Baptism of the Holy Spirit refers to the experience that happens to a believer at conversion or after conversion during their lifetime. Pentecostals firmly believe this experience happens after conversion and cites several texts such as Acts 2, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 19. They believe the initial evidence of the Baptism is speaking in tongues only. Charismatics believe this experience can happen at conversion and afterwards. They believe any of gifts of the Spirit can be manifested during this experience would suffice of being Baptized in the Holy Spirit. Third Wavers believe this experience happens at conversion and any of the gifts present during their lifetime would say they have been Baptized in the Holy Spirit.
