As water baptism (Biblically, in the only-saving name of Jesus) is both an action of obedience to the Gospel and a sign of “burial with Christ”/being “Born-of-the-Water” (AKA ‘our part’, along with first, faith and repentance toward God), so is Christ’s Holy Spirit baptism, signaled by someone speaking in an un-acquired language “as the Spirit gives utterance”, at least initially, both an action (trusting surrender and release to Him, plus praying and praising out loud to God in one’s native tongue until Jesus takes over with His glossolalia)…and a Gift-sign of Empowering Love to follow and live for Christ wholeheartedly and consistently until He returns.
