What Ever Happened to the Baptism in the Holy Spirit?

"Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" (Acts 19:2) It was obvious to the apostle Paul when he arrived in Ephesus that they had not, even though it was a gift the Father had promised them.After Jesus rose from the dead he breathed on the disciples and said "Receive the Holy Spirit." (John 20:22) Yet a few days later he told them to "wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit."(Acts 1:4-5)When they received the baptism on the day of Pentecost everything changed. God was now living inside them and they experienced amazing power and intimacy with God.
