“But you shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and you shall be witnesses to Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and to the uttermost part of the earth.” Acts 1:8
The Baptism in the Holy Spirit was given that we might receive the enabling to “become” a witness. This speaks of far more than our receiving power to do witnessing, as we ourselves are to become this witness – not something that we are to do or say.
