I was Baptised in the Spirit 47 years ago without asking for it.
People are different. And come from different angles. I came from the RCC into a Charismatic Church and was told that there was a second experience called the BHS. And I got something and I equate it with that. Sometime after I'd have had some basic teaching on it.
Others have been Christians for a while and along come some people saying that this thing which hasn't been seen in the Church for centuries is for today. These people look at where it came from, and what Scripture says, and are not convinced. Some even say it's not for today.
One thing of concern with those who have issues is the apparent emotion that appears to be a necessary part of it. Torry (whom I'm still reading) said way back in 1895. "The Baptism with the Spirit is not intended to make us happy but to make us effective. We should not look and long for ecstatic experiences, but for power and efficiency for God." (Torrey, R. A.. The Baptism with the Holy Spirit (p. 14). CrossReach Publications. Kindle Edition.)
I agree but if God chooses to give joy, loud praises or laughter with some peoples experience we should accept it
My experience didn't come with dramatic outward manifestations even though I sensed something inside me and spoke the tongues I received
