Historically for the disciples of Christ, the baptism of the spirit occurred at Pentecost.
For the believer the Baptism of the Spirit occurs the moment a person trusts Jesus Christ as saviour.
When a person first becomes a Christian the Spirit of God places them in union with Christ and the body of believers at the very moment of salvation.
Warren Wiersbe says: The Baptism of the Spirit means that I belong to his body, the fullness of the spirit means that my body belongs to him.
When the believers were filled with the Holy Spirit they spoke in literal languages apart from their native language (Acts 2.4 Other Tongues) as the holy spirit gave them utterance.
The Scriptures are silent on how to discover your gift. I think the Bible assumes that all Christians will serve Christ and in the service of Christ, one will discover their gift.
All of us one day are going to give an account for the Gifts an opportunities God has given us.
