It is true that everyone receives the Holy Spirit when they are saved. They also receive the fruits of the spirit which helps them live their born-again lives to reflect Jesus, this is automatic. It is written, in Galatians: 5 22-23, but the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, ( patience ), kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. So these are the fruits that you receive at salvation.
Baptism in the Holy Spirit however, must be sought by the believer. When you walk in the gifts of the Holy Spirit you are able to fulfill the great commission, as Jesus gave it, and take over Jesus work on earth till He comes back.
It is written in Mark 16:15-18, and He said to them, go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature; he who believes and is baptized will be saved, but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe. In my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents, and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick and they will recover.
These gifts of the spirit are given to believers according to what the Holy Spirit asks them to do. You may receive one, or over a period of time all of them, as needed. Just as the Holy Spirit enabled Jesus to do all these things in faith, he enables us to do the same in Jesus absence. God bless you and your family. Praise the Lord!
Remember Jesus Loves You
Prayer of Salvation
Lord Jesus, I thank you for what you did on the cross for me. Your blood washed away all my sins, by your stripes I was healed, your death and resurrection brought me salvation. Please forgive my sins, and come into my heart as my personal Savior.
Thank You Lord
Amen
