Why Does God Give the Baptism of the Holy Ghost?

I think you are referring to
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Romans 8:11

There are differences of opinion on here and among Christians as to whether the Holy Ghost Baptism is the same experience as the birth of the Spirit.
