It was something that He gave them. Something they could not give themselves. That is why it is called a "gift" and a "promise", yet Jesus still gave them instructions on the receiving of the promise - a command. He "commanded" them not to depart from Jerusalem until they were filled.

Not being a smart donkey but, I didn't wait in Jerusalem. I've never been to Jerusalem.
Furthermore, the "waiting" is not part of the scriptural pattern for believers speaking in tongues under the influence of the Holy Ghost.
Was Cornelius commanded to wait?
The disciples at Ephesus?
The pattern of the Tabernacle is relavant to the New Testament Christian experience.
The teaching that one will speak in tongues once they are saved to verify they are saved is not.
