"what scriptures support your idea that one one immediately receives the Spirit of Jesus by faith when they first express belief?"

Acts 11:16-18
16 Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said, 'John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.' 17
"If therefore God gave them the same gift as He gave us when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could withstand
God?" 18 When they heard these things they became silent; and they glorified God, saying, "Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life."
1. Peter states: The disciples and the brethren in Judea received the gift when THEY BELIEVED ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
2. Are we to accept that they didn't believe in the Lord Jesus Christ until the second chapter of Acts?
