The only people who were told to "tarry" (wait) for the Holy Ghost baptism were the disciples after the resurrection and prior to the Day of Pentecost. Scripture for this is
Luke 24:49 and
Acts 1:4. There were over 500 believers who saw Jesus after His resurrection (
1 Cor. 15:6) and about 120 of them (
Acts 1:15) waited in Jerusalem for the promised outpouring of the Holy Spirit. So about one fourth of the early believers were baptized in the Spirit.
