Acts 19:6 - Additional Comments

In Acts 10:45-47 there was a similar manifestation of the Spirit.
The supernatural filling of the Spirit endorsed them as true believers and showed others they needed Jesus Christ, not just repentance.
Instances of speaking in tongues was erratic, and not the rule (2:4, 10:44-46, compared to 8:39, 13:52, 16:34).
This is the final recorded speaking in tongues in Acts.
Note that the book of Acts is not intended to be a book of doctrine, showing what should be happening. No, it merely shows what did happen (although there is some doctrine woven into it). The epistles are much more focused on doctrine.
Note there is no set pattern to receive the Holy Spirit. Some receive it at baptism (2:38, 8:38), some before (10:47).
