Many denominations have erroneous traditions about what it means to be baptized in the Holy Spirit. The scriptures reveal that not all who received the Spirit spoke with tongues, but all were quickened with the equipping to hear the Word of God and to proclaim it. The Father sent a Comforter, one alongside the called, to His church, the out-called ones. The mark of a Christian is the out-raying of God's nature in us, which is the fruit of the Spirit, not the crazy acts people use to try to prove they have the gifts of the Spirit. VF-2103
