What is the evidence of receiving the Holy Ghost?
There is both an external and internal evidence that a person has received the Holy Ghost. (a) The common external evidence that occurred every time someone received the Holy Ghost was that they spoke in Tongues. Jesus had prophesied about it in Mark 16:17 “And these signs shall follow them that believe . . . they shall speak with new tongues,” saying that there would be a definite sign following those that believed. Read the actual following occurrences where people received the Holy Ghost and note what the obvious evidence was “Speaking in tongues.” Acts 1-2, esp. Acts 2:4 “speak with other tongues” (Jews: 120 disciples including Mary the mother of Jesus, and several women Acts 1:12-26).
