Baptism in the HOLY SPIRIT
Baptism is the Repentance for the remission of sins. The water represents the living water which is the anointing of the RUACH ha KODESH that breaks all yokes and bondages.
Baptism is the answer of a good conscience toward YAHUVEH through the resurrection of YAHUSHUA our MASHIACH (MESSIAH) (know as Jesus Christ from the Greek translation). Baptism means you die to your self and now vow to worship, strive to obey, serve YAHUSHUA ha MASHIACH all the days of your life.
Submerging in the water is done after a confession of the sins and praying for forgiveness before YAHUVEH GOD and SON, YAHUSHUA, accepting YAHUSHUA as the ONLY SAVIOR and making a commitment to turn away from a sinful life.
Baptism is done in the Name of the FATHER, (ABBA YAHUVEH) HIS only begotton SON YAHUSHUA ha MASHIACH, and HOLY SPIRIT called the RUACH ha KODESH It should end up with a prayer for the fullness of the Baptism of the HOLY SPIRIT.
YAHUVEH GOD saves us according to HIS mercy through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the HOLY SPIRIT. Baptism washes away our sins and leads to putting on YAHUSHUA our MASHIACH.
YAHUSHUA commanded us to baptize believers.
If there is no one else to baptize you that is a strong believer and who will baptize you in the Hebrew names, do it yourself even if it is your own bathtub. YAHUSHUA ha MASHIACH knows your heart and will honor it!
Baptism means that we are baptized into YAHUSHUA our MASHIACH'S death. Therefore, we are buried with HIM through baptism into death, that just as YAHUSHUA was raised from the dead by the glory of the FATHER, even so we, also should walk in newness of life, for if we have been united together in the likeness of HIS death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of HIS resurrection. (HALLELU-YAH)

4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward YAHUVEH,) by the resurrection of YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACH:
Matthew 28:19
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the NAME of the FATHER, and of the SON, and of the RUACH ha KODESH:
Luke 11:13
13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
There are others, see if you notice any and make note of them..
Most importantly dear brother, is to ask YAHUVEH GOD to show you everyday any unconfessed sins that may be in your heart. I had to do this, too. In fact I still pray this daily. "ABBA (means 'FATHER' or "DADDY" in Hebrew) YAH please continue to shine the light in my heart for anything that is displeasing to you or any unconfessed sins. I always apologize- daily- for any sins (and unrighteousness) I have committed (and even the ones I am not aware of yet).
MASHIACH never sinned but YAHUVEH put our sin on HIM. Then we are made right with YAHUVEH because of what MASHIACH has done for us.
2 Corinthians 5:21
These words are true and they can be trusted.
Because of this, we work hard and do our best because our hope is in the living GOD, the One Who would save all men. HE saves those who believe in HIM.
1 Timothy 4:9-10
Speaking in Tongues
Glossolalia, otherwise referred to as “speaking in tongues, ” has been around for thousands of years, and references to it can be found in the Old and New Testament.
Research shows that these people are not in control of the usual language centers during this activity,
which is consistent with their description of a lack of intentional control while speaking in tongues. These findings could be interpreted as the subject’s sense of self being taken over by something else.
Biblical references about Speaking in Tongues
1 Corinthians 12:7-11
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of
knowledge by the same Spirit;
9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the
same Spirit;
10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another
discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the
interpretation of tongues:
11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man
severally as he will.
1 Corinthians 13:1
1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not
charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
1 Corinthians 14:1-19
1 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may
prophesy.
2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God:
for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and
comfort.
4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that
prophesieth edifieth the church.
5 I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for
greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he
interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
6 Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit
you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by
prophesying, or by doctrine?
7 And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they
give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?
8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the
battle?
9 So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how
shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.
10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them
is without signification.
11 Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that
speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.
12 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may
excel to the edifying of the church.
13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may
interpret.
14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding
is unfruitful.
15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the
understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the
understanding also.
16 Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the
room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth
not what thou sayest?
17 For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:
19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that
by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown
tongue.
1 Corinthians 14:22-25
22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them
that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for
them which believe.
23 If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak
with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will
they not say that ye are mad?
24 But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one
unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:
25 And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on
his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.
26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a
psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an
interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by
three, and that by course; and let one interpret.
28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let
him speak to himself, and to God.
