In the Book of Acts, ______________ is consistently related to being filled with the Spirit.

• A. Healing
• B. Prophesying
• C. Baptism
• D. Speaking in tongues

Answer: (D)

Being filled with the Spirit is shown by the Spirit enabling believers to speak in tongues. In Acts, this outward manifestation is the clearest and most frequently described sign that someone has been filled or empowered by the Spirit. On the day of Pentecost, the Spirit enabled the disciples to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. Later, when the Spirit moved in other contexts—such as when Gentiles received the Spirit and began to magnify God, and when disciples in Ephesus were filled—the accompanying manifestation often includes speaking in tongues. While other results can accompany Spirit fullness (like bold preaching or prophesying), the pattern most consistently linked to being filled across these accounts is speaking in tongues. This helps explain why the option describing speaking in tongues is considered the best answer.
