My previous post to free at last deals with that very issue.
We see a clear example of a whole bunch of new believers who had repented and got baptized, but still didn't have the Holy Ghost.
I guess it would be nice to think that anyone who repents, receives the Holy Ghost just by their repentance and/or being baptized.... but there's no scriptural basis for us to believe or teach that .
.

The Holy Ghost is a He, baptism of the Holy Ghost is an experience a gift promised by God.

If you believe God is the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, you can't separate them when if comes to receiving the gift. How can you be repented and baptized and still not have God in you? (Father, Son and Holy Ghost).

Acts 2:38
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
