These were one time events unique in the early church which were not repeated.
1. The Holy Spirit was poured out on the church in Jerusalem (the Jews) (Acts 2:1-11).
2. The Holy Spirit was poured out on the Gentiles (Acts 10:44-46).
3. The Holy Spirit was poured out on the Samaritans (half Jewish, half Gentile) (Acts 8:5, 12-17).
4. The Holy Spirit was poured on John the Baptists followers (Acts 19:1-7).
Above there were 4 distinct groups in Acts where we see the Holy Spirit baptism that was unique and a one time event to prove they had received the same Spirit baptism and were to be accepted into the church as we see happening on the day of Pentecost with the Jews.
Why do people today try to repeat the unique events of Acts ?
hope this helps !!!
