"Breathe in Me"

Mark 1:8 " . . . I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."
(John the baptist speaking about Christ)
Acts 1:4-5 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: "Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit."
Acts 2:1-4, 11
In each of the gospels John the Baptist says that Christ will "baptize" with the Holy Spirit (the Greek word for "baptize" refers to being dipped, dunked or immersed). When does Christ indicate this is first to happen, and how is it described then? What is the result?


Acts 10:44-46 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message. The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles. For they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God.
Acts 11:15-16
