Since baptism empowered John's disciples...

Since baptism empowered John's disciples to speak in tongues and to prophecy, I am reminded of this story told by a special piece of equipment:
My brother and I are identical twins. We were designed and manufactured by the same company. We both provide high-quality audio sound -- whether it's on tape, compact disc, or AM-FM radio. Some people call us the ultimate in boom boxes.
Now, my brother had an interesting experience. The person who purchased him at the store had not read the manual carefully. He put in a new set of batteries, enjoyed my brother's sound for quite a while until the batteries ran down. Since he had not read about the AC adaptor built into my brother and me, this customer felt he had to buy another set of batteries. Soon, he tired of buying batteries all the time and decided to put my brother on the closet shelf.
After several months, my brother's owner decided to trade him for a different piece of electronic equipment. His new owner read the manual very carefully and discovered the built-in AC adaptor feature. He plugged my brother into the power source of his home and my brother has been providing marvelous music ever since.
