: Dear Peter, I read your letter about praying for the baptism in the Holy Spirit. When you prayed did you speak it forth, did you open your mouth and give utterance. Jesus will not force you to speak in tongues you must do your part. Did you feel a stirring in your belly. Don't be afraid. Just speak it forth. The Holy Spirit will fill you and you will do it. Satan will try to tell you it's just you making something up don't listen to him. He is a liar and the father of all lies : : I have been a Christian for years and I have recently grown an interest in speaking in tongues and the pentecostal definiton of the baptism of the holy spirit. I have talked to friends that speak in tongues and they believe it is for every Christian but so far they have been unable to back it up biblically, so I have looked in the Bible myself in an attempt to find the reasons for why they believe the way they do and to just find the truth. So far, I still am not convinced that it is for every Christian. I have prayed for the gift of speaking in tongues and I pray every day for God to fill me with the Holy Spirit. I still don't speak in tongues. If anyone has an explanation, they can email me.
