How do we know Holy Spirit baptism is true?

The biblical basis for Holy Spirit baptism rests on the testimony of the Gospels and Acts. John the Baptist's declaration that Jesus would baptize with the Holy Spirit indicates that this event was anticipated and significant. Acts 2 narrates its fulfillment during Pentecost when the Holy Spirit empowered the apostles, a moment that was publicly observed and testified to. This instance, alongside Jesus’ commands in Acts, emphasizes the uniqueness of this baptism as a sign of the new covenant, empowering believers for the Great Commission. Furthermore, historical evidence supports the conclusion that Holy Spirit baptism has not occurred since those early days, reinforcing its uniqueness in redemptive history.
