It wasn’t based on Peter and the others drawing straws, either

Acts 13:1-3 tells us that +Paul was ordained like all others after Christ left, by laying of the hands.

PS credit for this should go to k2fourever, who's having problems posting.

What about all the other Christians that received the Holy Spirit without anyone laying hands on them?

Not so.

Acts 9:
[17] So Anani'as departed and entered the house. And laying his hands on him he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit."

Please read Acts 13 again. This was not an Ordination much less, an Ordination by Apostles.
