Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a single event like baptism in water. However, there are successive infillings.

After the initial Baptism of the Holy Spirit in a believer do that person again keep on asking for the Baptism of the Holy Spirit continously..Or is it just that we require Holy Ghost's guidance in our life? In the Old testament we read, Lord has poured down His Spirit upon his people on a need-basis whenever required. But after Jesus' ascension we have the continual fellowship with the Spirit. So the basic question that I was putting across is that the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is only a one time event or not. Sid .That was a nice post..But lemme know something.

All too often people take God's blessing and assume it to be something other than what it is simply because they do not understand the nature of it. For example, one might pray for growth in Christ. God may grant his request by allowing something to happen within his life to incur a sense of discomfort--to teach him what it means to rely more on God and thus grow in Jesus Christ... Nevertheless, that person might become angry with God for letting him go through such an ordeal, and even accuse Him of not caring about his needs. Of course, he may also assume that God is angry with him, while all along failing to see that God isn't angry at all; rather, He just simply gave him what he had asked for. Hence, the problem isn't with God not granting his request; instead, the problem is with the person who just didn't like the package that God's answer came in.
