Calvary to make this “gift” available! No wonder he came on so

believers for the Holy Spirit except the first two conditions of Acts
2:38 had been performed. See the Philippian jailer in Acts 16. The

the Philippian jailer and his entire household be baptized! In Acts 8
Philip had baptized the Samaritan believers following their
repentance and faith, before Peter and John laid hands on them for
the gift of the Holy Spirit. Look at all other references for the
order of baptism and the Holy Spirit in the book of Acts. Except God
Himself would change this order, the apostles adhered to it. The one
exception is with the Roman centurion, his family and friends in Acts
10 and 11. The Jewish believers would not have laid hands on Gentiles
for the Holy Spirit, but once God intervened and did, then Peter
immediately commanded water baptism, so as to fulfill the pattern of
Acts 2:38. J.A.W.</span></span></span></font></p>
