Acts 1:5 : For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit."

What does that mean? Baptiso in Greek means to dunk. How does one "dunk" with the Holy Spirit?

BAPTIZO is also translated "to be immersed". When we are immersed with God the Holy Spirit, some experience something somewhat akin to being fully immersed in water in their serenity of mind. This is not to suggest a physical sensation or some type of emotional experience is identifiable with saving grace and initial regeneration of the human heart, but the regeneration of the human spirit is sometimes associated with other phenomenon in some believers coincident to that salvation.

Excuse me, isn't God Spirit that is ever-present everywhere and always? Isn't the whole world immersed in God's presence?

This is not to suggest a physical sensation or some type of emotional experience ..., but the regeneration of the human spirit is sometimes associated with other phenomenon in some believers coincident to that salvation

What does that have to do with being immersed?
