About one fourth of the early church waited/tarried until the Day of Pentecost and then received the Holy Ghost Baptism.
There is no record about the other 380 disciples as to whether or not they received the Holy Ghost Baptism.
We don't read about anyone else being told to wait/tarry.
In Samaria and at Ephesus the Holy Ghost baptism happened after hands were laid on people.
Acts 8:17-18; 19:6.
The gentiles in Caesarea received the Holy Ghost baptism while Peter preached.
Acts 10:44
