So since there exists people who Jesus said were saved that have not received the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues then we must conclude that Jesus was right and those people who have not received the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues are saved.

The thing is that the Holy Ghost was not even available for people to receive until the day of Pentecost when the Holy Ghost was first poured out, so the Acts 2:38 plan of salvation could not be fully obeyed until from the day of Pentecost onward, but from that day forward, the day the NT church was born, it was required.
