Why Does God Give the Baptism of the Holy Ghost?

IF people are filled with the Holy Ghost when they believe or repent, then why did the apostles pray for believers to be filled?

You believe they are baptized by God's Spirit into the Church or body of Christ only after a properly administered baptism?

This sounds like what the Paedobaptists believe ... if memory serves.

This, what you have said, does not seem to coincide with what happened to Cornelius and those in his home in Acts 10.

Tongues then baptized.

Not at all. I already stated that scriptural examples indicate the order doesn't matter.

When I said "baptized" in my previous post, I was referring to Holy Ghost baptism, not water baptism.
