Can You Be Filled But Not Baptized In The Holyghost? by efficiencie(m): 10:46pm On Jan 04, 2015
On one of the occassions when Jesus met his disciples after his resurrection he did this:

John 20:22
And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:


Now unless Jesus lied or spoke and acted carelessly the disciples actually received the Holy Ghost that moment.

If the disciples received the Holy Ghost at this point in time then why did they have to tarry at Jerusalem waiting for the promise of the Father - the Baptism of the Holy Ghost in:

Acts 1:4-5
And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.


The two questions to be addressed are:

Why was the baptism on the day of pentecost necessary when the disciples already received the Holy Ghost from Jesus himself?

And if it was necessary what really is the baptism of the Holy Ghost?
