When Philip preached to the City of Samaria, he didn't tell the people to sit right where they were, and they didn't need to be emotional. And when the people believed the preaching of Philip, they were baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, and received the Holy Ghost. Read Acts the 8th Chapter, verse five to the twenty-second.
When Peter preached the same gospel to the Gentiles in Caesarea that he preached to the Jews on the day of Pentecost, they received the Holy Ghost, and spake with other tongues, and were baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. (Acts 10:44-48)
Let us turn again to the Word of God (Acts 19:5). When the Apostle Paul met John's disciples who had not received salvation under this dispensation, he said unto them, "Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed?"
I want to say here, dear reader, there are thousands of people who have some kind of belief but except they believe as the Scriptures have said (St. John 7:38), their belief is in vain. They said unto Paul, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.
Paul then said unto them, "Unto what then were you baptized?" He goes on then to explain the truth unto them as I am explaining it unto you. They obeyed and were baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, and were filled with the Holy Ghost and spoke in other tongues. (Acts 19:1)
