Other than laying on of the hands of the apostles there is very much in the Bible to tell us "HOW" believers were prayed through who didn't receive the Spirit immediately upon hearing the word as in Acts 10.

Where do you get the notion they didn't receive it as easily as
Acts 10?
Acts 8
17Then Peter and John placed their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
And how did they place their hands on them? It never says they put their hands on their foreheads and shook em until they spoke in tongues and prayed them through.
