Baptism of the Holy Spirit

Acts 8:14-17 When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent Peter and John to Samaria. 15 When they arrived, they prayed for the new believers there that they might receive the Holy Spirit, 16 because the Holy Spirit had not yet come on any of them; they had simply been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 17 Then Peter and John placed their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.

This is a theological question in churches.  Catholics call it confirmation. Some churches believe it is an all in one deal at salvation or water baptism, others believe it is a separate in filling after baptism.  I am going to study, pray and seek God on this subject.
