It just happened that these set of disciples he encountered had not received the gospel of Christ

He was strengthening the disciples, who were ALREADY CHRISTIANS FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST, and came across some more disciples in Ephesus. His interaction with them led him to wonder... 'I wonder if these guys have the Holy Ghost...?' so he asks them - 'Did you receive the spirit when you believed?' They said we don't know such a thing is possible. So he's like 'well, goodness gracious, what were you baptised into, then?' They said John's baptism. AHA!!! There's the problem! So he preaches Jesus to them, they get baptised in Jesus name, and he prays for them, lays hands on them, and they get the Holy Spirit in the Pentecostal way.

And the First Baptist Church of Ephesus changes it's name to First Apostolic Pentecostal Deliverance Church of Ephesus!!
