How do you interpret Acts 10: 44-48:
While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
These Gentiles obviously received the HS BEFORE baptism.

The Holy Ghost fell upon all them and made His coming known in some visible manner and exterior signs, as on the day of Pentecost.
Can any man forbid water or doubt that these on whom the Holy Ghost hath descended may be made members of the Christian Church by Baptism, as Christ ordained?
