But the LDS don’t get the Holy Spirit until after they are baptized.

Hmmmm, doesn't follow the pattern of the bible now does it -

Act 109:44* While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
45* 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.
46* For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
47* Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?

My here in the bible, it was Holy Spirit BEFORE baptism.

And it didn’t involve the “laying on of hands” either.
