Does your particular church baptise with water and the Holy Spirit...

Christ, not men, baptizes in the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 3:11; Mark 1:8)

The baptism of the Holy Spirit took place not many days after Christ's ascension. (Acts 1:5)

"For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence."

Not many days later came the famous day of Pentecost which we read about in Acts 2.

Since it's no longer "not many days hence" from Christ's ascension and we do not see the events of Acts 2 such as a mighty rushing wind and tongues like as fire, then we can know that the baptism with the Holy Spirit does not take place today.

So you do not baptise with water and the Holy Spirit. You do not lay hands on from a bishop to a parishioner. What validates your baptism then?
