Did You Receive the Holy Spirit When You Believed?

In acts 19, while apollus was at corinth, paul took the road through the interior and arrived in ephesus. There he found some disciples and asked them, did ye receive the holy spirit when you believed? And they answered, no, we have not even heard that there was a holy spirit. Paul said, john's baptism is a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in jesus. On hearing this, they were baptized into the name of jesus,. When paul placed his hands on them, the holy spirit came upon them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied.
