Answer Details
In the book of Acts in the New Testament, the converts in Samaria received the Holy Spirit through the laying of hands by the apostles. After the death and resurrection of Jesus, the apostles went to different regions to spread the gospel and perform miracles in His name. In Samaria, Philip preached to the people and many believed and were baptized. However, they had not yet received the Holy Spirit. When the apostles Peter and John heard about this, they went to Samaria and prayed for the believers, laying their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. This is described in Acts 8:14-17.
