I'm a Christian, but have no idea what type I am. I converted about a year and a half ago, and since then have heard some pretty contradictory views. The understanding I currently have is that the Holy Spirit is the part of the divine that is within Christians.

At my Christian Union, people sometimes pray for the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and say that it is the Spirit that gives gifts such as speaking in tongues.

I am, however, very willing to be corrected if I've misunderstood.
