Acts 1:4 And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me; 5 for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”

Question: When the 120 on the Day of Pentecost spoke in tongues, had they received the Holy Spirit, or were they baptized in the Holy Spirit?
The Holy Spirit was with them before the day of pentecost

Try and follow what I said. I know you are upset to have the truth of these sites pointed out to you, but at least try. I did not specifically state when I would leave, but rather I never stay for more than a few days, or maybe a week

Don't you ever wonder why you never stay for more than a few days, or maybe a week? The problem obviously lies with you. Either you can't tolerate the truth or can't discuss things logically and/or rationally.

If I want truth I can get it in a church. These sites are mainly here for people who love and revel in debate. Hardly anyone ever changes their mind about anything, it is just a chance to swap scriptures with each other, and many come, trying to impress others with what they think they know. So much of it is not Holy Spirit inspired, as I have previously told you. That is why I don't stay long

So let me ask you, were the disciples in a saved state before the day of Pentecost? If any had died before the day of pentecost, would they have gone to Heaven or hell?

They couldn't die, God gave them to Jesus and their purpose hadn't been met yet.

Not the 120.
Then Jesus lied:
And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. John 14:16&17

You should be very careful before you make such statements

We all need the Holy Spirit inside of us to be saved.

What I have found over the years is that Christian forums have challenged what I have believed and I searched the Scriptures to see whether those things be so or not. I have changed on 18 things theologically over the years. But a person just sitting in a church is not challenged. They just blindly follow whatever the Pastor says in most cases and they just go once a week to think about the things of God. Are they in their Bible every day? Are they praying every day? Are they desiring to love others every day? Church is like what religious people are supposed to do. It’s not even really a biblical concept because the Bible does not teach a Pastor should rule over the flock as like a king. I would recommend our readers to checking out these threads here from a fellow brother of mine.

Good, but they had not yet spoken in tongues, neither had they been filled with the Spirit

To be fair, you haven't answered my question, only answered with a question to me #332. If you don't answer this now, I will put you on ignore.

How do you figure some christians have not been born again? The only christians that exist are those who have been born again
MOST are LIP ONLY , JUST LIKE I ONCE WAS . Best guess , over ninety eight percent of christendom aint true chritains .
Its bad my friend . And i say that lightly too . IT could be much worse than that .
And when i say they aint christain , I aint nickpicking on just one little thing . I MEAN THEY AINT PEROID .
Too many are just like i once was , And ye shall know them by THEIR FRUITS INDEED .

I have already answered that though you are welcome to put me on ignore. They were filled with the Spirit on the day of pentecost, though the Spirit was with them before that according to Jesus words. And, you have stated they were in a saved stated before the day of pentecost when they were filled with the Spirit.
Should I put you on ignoire as you are not responding to your belief there are christians that are not born again

There are many who say they are Christians, but they still sin. The Spirit is still on the outside drawing them to Jesus, but they won't repent.
