Baptism with the Holy Spirit promised

John the Baptist anticipates baptism with the Spirit

John 1:33 NASB95
“I did not recognize Him, but He who sent me to baptize in water said to me, ‘He upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon Him, this is the One who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.’

Jesus Christ promises baptism with the Spirit

Acts 1:4–5 NASB95
Gathering them together, He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father had promised, “Which,” He said, “you heard of from Me; for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
See also Lk 24:49; Ac 1:8

The gift of the Holy Spirit followed Jesus Christ’s glorification

Acts 2:33 NASB95
“Therefore having been exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He has poured forth this which you both see and hear.
See also Jn 7:39

The gift of the Holy Spirit is for all believers at the outset of their Christian lives

Acts 2:38–39 NASB95
Peter said to them, “Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. “For the promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself.”
See also Ac 2:16–18; Joe 2:28–29; Ga 3:2–5

This gift of the Holy Spirit links believers together in the one body of Christ

For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.
