What is the difference between amrit and baptism?

Did the Holy Spirit come to you at baptism and confirmation?
In the New Testament, the Holy Spirit came upon people in a very visible and identifiable manner. It came upon the Christians on the Day of Pentecost as very visible "tongues of fire" and with the people hearing the gospel message in their own languages.
The Holy Spirit was promised to the people who converted on that day, and made consequent upon their repentance and baptism. It is not clear whether that was communicated through visible signs, or just something that the new Christians became aware of in their lives.
The Holy Spirit came in a visible way after Peter and John were released after being taken before the Sanhedrin, when they were meeting with the other disciples and praying, where the place they were praying began to shake.
Some years later, when Peter was sharing the message about Jesus with Cornelius, the Holy Spirit came upon those who heard the message, and they were heard speaking in other languages and praising God. This was taken as an indication to Peter that it was OK to baptise them.
So we can see that the Holy Spirit is not constrained. He can come wherever and whenever he wishes: before baptism, after baptism, and at other times as well. Indeed, most of these dramatic occasions of the coming of the Holy Spirit are directly related to specific events, and specifically related to the evangelistic activities of the Church. It is not up to us to say how the Holy Spirit will come.
For most of us, the Holy Spirit does not come in these dramatic ways, but we know that the Holy Spirit is working in our hearts. The Bible teaches that it is Holy Spirit that leads us to Christ. So we are confident that the Holy Spirit is with us at all times. We just need to remain open to what he is saying to us, and not to quench the Spirit's work in our lives.

Acts 8:18New King James Version (NKJV)18 And when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money,
