Acts 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?It doesn't say "Then Paul placed his hands on them..." it says "When Paul placed his hands on them". No chronology is given. So arguably Paul could have laid his hands on them before they were baptized. The impression certainly is that Paul's preaching, their baptism, and the Holy Spirit were all given within only minutes of each other, whichever order they occurred.
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Ok, so the people in Acts 2:37, did they believe Peter when they asked him what they should do now? Would you consider them believers or unbelievers at this stage?
