The Holy Spirit Baptism - Bears Fruit

Acts 2:1-4 "Now when the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance."
Acts 2:14-17 "But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and said to them, 'Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and heed my words. For these are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only *the third hour of the day (9 a.m.). But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

'And it shall come to pass in the last
   days, says God,
That I will pour out of My Spirit on all
   flesh;
Your sons and your daughters shall
   prophesy...'
"       (Joel 2:28-29)
BibleNote: This is still true today. I accepted the Lord in January, and received the baptism of the Holy Spirit four months later.
2 Cor. 3:17 "Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty."
Gal. 5:22-26 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, *gentleness (meekness), self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another."
Israel insight
During a teaching in Israel the meekness of Jesus Christ was mentioned, and we were taught "Meekness is nothing but power under control." Awesome!
