Please give me an example of what you are saying. R u saying the Apostles had power to give them the Holy Spirit?

The book of Acts is a 35 year history and in that time, only three examples of people receiving the Holy Spirit as they did at Pentecost are exampled. Peter heard Cornelious speak in the same languages they spoke. They spoke in earthly foreign languages, not blithering babble....

Acts 10:44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message. 45The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles. 46For they heard them speaking in tongues[b] and praising God.
