The experience of the 120 in the upper room on the day of Pentecost, was called being "baptised with the Holy Ghost".
It was also called being "filled with the Spirit"; receiving the Spirit; the Spirit being given; the Spirit coming upon; and the Spirit falling upon.
Others had precisely the same experience (such as in Samaria; and in Cornelius' household).
Since we have the same experience, we can give it the same name:
Being baptised with the Holy Ghost.
As it was an experience distinct from and subsequent to salvation then, so it is now.
