DO I HAVE TO BE BAPTIZED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT TO GET INTO HEAVEN?
I THINK IT'S PENTECOSTAL WHO BELIEVE YOU ARE TO BE BAPTIZED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT AND IT IS THEN THAT YOUR ARE CONFIRMED TO BE A CHILD OF GOD... IS THAT TRUE OR A DOCTRINE. I'M LOST ABOUT THAT.

Hello Passun,
Hope these scriptures help...
Romans 4:16
Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham's offspring—not only to those who are of the law but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.
2 Corinthians 1:22
set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.
2 Corinthians 5:5
Now it is God who has made us for this very purpose and has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.
Ephesians 1: 11In him we were also chosen,[e] having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, 12in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. 13And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession—to the praise of his glory.
God Bless You,
Mercy

NO you do not have to be baptized you do however need to except that Jesus Christ was born of a virgin.That he was crucified for our sins and 3 days later he was raise from the grave.But baptized does show that ur taking the next step of faith and wanting to wash away your old life and start a new life in your walk in faith. I could have given you scriptures to go along with this but sometimes just plain forth talking works to. I hope this helps

Do I have to be baptized to go to heaven – The Criminal
The other story is found in the account of Jesus on the cross and it is the story of one of the malefactors who hung beside Jesus. One of the malefactors railed against Jesus but the other had a change of heart. "But the other criminal rebuked him. ‘Don't you fear God,’ he said, ‘since you are under the same sentence? We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.’ Then he said, ‘Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.’ Jesus answered him, ‘I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise’" (Luke 23:40-43). Notice that Jesus does not say you will be with me after you are baptized. Rather there was affirmation of the thought "absent in the body and present with the LORD" (2 Corinthians 5:8).
Do I have to be baptized to go to heaven – The Conclusion
Baptism is a rite of identification and not salvation and therefore is not a requirement for entrance into heaven. What then is the requirement for entrance into heaven? The story of the malefactor will give us the answer. This man recognized that he was where he was because of his own actions and he repents and asks for grace. The grace of the cross is what instantly transformed a reviling sinner into one with the attitude of confession and saving faith. That faith is what saves and gives the sinner entrance into eternal life through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ three days later.
I found this on this site so I hope this helps.

A persons salvation has already been givin to us from the grace of God. Not from Baptisim.
That's what I believe and my church does also.
If you remember, the thief that was on the cross next to Jesus, he was never Baptized. Yet he was saved and went to heven.

Passun,
All true believers in Jesus are all baptized by the Holy Spirit when they believe on and receive Jesus as their Savior. So yes, baptism by the Holy Spirit is a requirement. But at the same time it is automatic when you believe. There may or may NOT be any outward signs of this. There may or may NOT be various emotions involved. So, don't get hung up on outward manifestations. According to the Bible, if you really believe in Jesus, you are already baptized by His Holy Spirit! So rejoice! :-)
Some members here are confusing water baptism with baptism of the Holy Spirit. The two things are different. Water baptism is something we do in obedience to Christ's command (Matthew 28:18-20) to indicate to ourselves and others that we are now followers of Jesus.
To help clear up the confusion, please read and look up all the Bible verses below in this article: http://www.allaboutgod.com/baptism-in-the-holy-spirit.htm
Baptism in the Holy Spirit - What Is It?
We should be careful to not confuse baptism in the Holy Spirit with the various other ministries of the Holy Spirit. The filling of the Holy Spirit is how He empowers and controls us (Acts 4:31; Ephesians 5:18). The indwelling of the Holy Spirit is God the Holy Spirit taking up permanent residence in our lives (John 14:17; Romans 8:9-11; 1 Corinthians 3:16; 6:19; 1 John 4:4). The sealing of the Holy Spirit is God marking us as His permanent possession (Ephesians 1:13-14). Baptism in the Holy Spirit is related to these other ministries of the Holy Spirit, but at the same time, it is separate from them.
Baptism in the Holy Spirit - What Are the Results?
In the book of Acts, baptism in the Holy Spirit sometimes resulted in speaking in tongues (Acts 2:4; 10:44-46; Acts 19:6). However, in other instances, people believed and therefore received baptism in the Holy Spirit, but nothing is said of tongues (Acts 2:41; 4:4; 5:14; 8:17; 13:12, 48; 14:1; 17:12, 34; 18:8). Again, the Bible makes it abundantly clear that every believer has received the baptism in the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:13), but not every believer speaks in tongues (1 Corinthians 12:27-31). As a result, there is no specific sign that a believer should expect when they are saved and receive baptism in the Holy Spirit.
Baptism in the Holy Spirit can be defined as: at the moment of salvation, the Holy Spirit places a believer into permanent union with Christ and with other believers in the Body of Christ. 1 Corinthians 12:13 and Romans 6:1-4 are the central passages in the Bible where we find this doctrine. 1 Corinthians 12:13 states, "For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body-whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free-and we were all given the one Spirit to drink." Romans 6:1-4 says, "What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life."
Baptism in the Holy Spirit - Who Has It?
Every believer in the Lord Jesus Christ has experienced baptism in the Holy Spirit. That is why Paul could state, "For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body… we were all given the one Spirit to drink" (1 Corinthians 12:13). As we read in Acts chapter 2, baptism in the Holy Spirit began on the day of Pentecost. This was in fulfillment of Jesus' words in Acts 1:5, "…but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit." The Apostles experienced the baptism in the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost. It resulted in them being empowered to proclaim the Gospel and lead thousands of people to faith in Christ (Acts 2:41). In two instances later in Acts, the baptism in the Holy Spirit was temporarily delayed in order to demonstrate to the Apostles that Samaritans (Acts 8:14-17) and Gentiles (Acts 10:27-48) were equally a part of God's plan of salvation. The Apostle Peter proclaimed, "Can anyone keep these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have." From that point on, every believer received the baptism in the Holy Spirit the moment they believed.
Baptism in the Holy Spirit - What Does It Mean To You?
To summarize, baptism in the Holy Spirit does two things. First, it identifies us spiritually with the death and resurrection of Christ, uniting us with Him. Second, baptism in the Holy Spirit joins us to the body of Christ, and identifies us as united with other believers. Practically, baptism in the Holy Spirit means we are risen with Him to newness of life (Romans 6:4), and that we should exercise our spiritual gifts to keep the body of Christ functioning properly as stated in 1 Corinthians 12:13. Experiencing baptism in the Holy Spirit serves as an exhortation to keep unity of the church (Ephesians 4:5). Being identified with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection-through baptism in the Holy Spirit-establishes the basis for realizing our separation from the power of indwelling sin and our walk in newness of life (Romans 6:1-10, Colossians 2:12).
"You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ" (Romans 8:9).
