Thank you for your reply. I think that I made a mistake and responded to you as "brother Tim" - I don't see your name at all on your posts. I'm a sister. So, I should ask you the same: brother or sister?

I appreciate your simple question and it's a very good one! I'm happy to respond to it. Yes, I do fully understand that we receive the Holy Spirit in conjunction with our salvation - not through baptism. I do know, at that point where I knelt down and just repeated a prayer, without any meaning for me, that I was NOT YET SAVED. I didn't give my heart and life to the Lord yet. But it did lead to my interest in the Bible and search for truth.
