2. What is the connection between one’s being made an apostle and his being baptized in the Holy Spirit?

Answer: Just none at all. Paul was an apostle and there is no account of his ever being baptized in the Holy Spirit; the household of Cornelius were baptized in the Holy Spirit and not one of them was an apostle. The apostles received the baptism of the Spirit on Pentecost as Jews-not as apostles, as such!
