You are assuming one definition of “of”. So you are assuming that the Holy Spirit is the gift as opposed the Him giving the gift. This is the problem with trying to pull doctrine out of narratives, especially when using just one verse. And you are doing this to counter a passage of didactic teachings.Ok, it says repent and be baptized and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Would it be wrong to say you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit from repentance and baptism? In that case why? The Holy Spirit is the gift from repentance (and baptism). Doesn't that mean the same thing?
