Lets take a brief walk into the subject baptism of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus said that we would "receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you" in Acts 1:8. Power to live holy lives, power to witness, power to pray, to understand scripture, to minister, and to lay our lives down. I always tell my friends often that Christianity without POWER is just another religion entirely.
The disciples were called Christians because of the demonstration of power that was oozing out of their lives and changing destiny; which was made possible via the baptism of the Holy Spirit. (Read this scriptures for evidence of that power - Acts 9:17-20; John 16:14; Luke 24:24; Rom . 8:26). You cant thrive as a believer without Power. Jesus said “WAIT! Until you are endued with POWER! – Until you are Baptized with the Holy Ghost and with Power”

The Holy Spirit is to be received by all believers so that they can receive, with the power, certain "gifts" from God.
Gifts of healing, power wisdom, power faith, power knowledge, power miracle and power to speak the truth of God.
In other words, the Holy Spirit is to be received to receive power to be an active member in the body of Christ; ministering in the earth today. The Apostle Paul said for us to "earnestly desire spiritual gifts" (1 Cor. 12:31, 14:1)
