38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the
name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the
gift of the Holy Ghost.
The promise of the Spirit is for us today.
39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off,
even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of

Paul inquired if the Ephesian believers had received the Holy Ghost since believing.
1 ¶ And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,

they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any
Holy Ghost.

Because the Ephesians had not received the Holy Ghost, Paul inquired of their water baptism.
3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.
4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying
unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him,
that is, on Christ Jesus.
The Ephesians responded to Paul's instruction by being baptised in the name of Jesus
Acts 19:
5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
They received the Holy Ghost, by the laying on of Paul's hands, separate and apart from their water baptism
6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

shall flow rivers of living water.

receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet
