Hi and you are wrong !!
Do you see the Greek word HUDOR / WATER in Acts 9:18 , so tkae off your Pentecostal glassess off !!
Verse 18 says that , having STOOD UP HE WAS BAPTIZED !!, No water / hudor here at all !!
Reading verse 17 , Ananias was sent so that you might recover sight and might be full of Holy Spirit !!
All please notice that it does not say THE HOLY SPIRIT , because if the Greek ARTICLE ( THE ) wasmused it the specifically , than means it would say Paul was INDWELLETH with Holy Spirit !!
With out the Greek ARTICLE ( THE ) Paul was baptized with the POWER OF HOLY SPIRIT and Not with water !!
Get your FACTS STRAIGHT !!
This is why the Greek ARTICLE / THE is Important !!

Nope.
Ananias, who said this unto Paul...
Acts 9:17 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
...is described as being a disciple of the Lord...
Acts 9:10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
Meaning this...
Acts 22:12 And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there,
Meaning he would have held to and practiced this...
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Fact is, there is no depiction of anything out of the ordinary reported during that baptism, in contrast to what happened in Acts 10.
Fact is...
Ananias, was a devout man according to the law, Acts 22:12.
Fact is, that Paul had to be water baptized according to the Law, for he had been intended to represent a transition from Israel's Prophesied Grace to the Body's Mystery Grace that at the same time does not pose a contradiction to a passage like Isaiah 8:20.
Towards that, accounts having to do with Ananias; with Barnabas; and with Peter and Cornelius, together with those miracles manifested in Paul's ministry among the Gentiles, and even his own accounts to the Sanhedrin - all this was in relation to addressing the issue of Paul's ministry's seeming contradiction to Isaiah 8:20.
They serve as a witness to Israel to this very day as to Paul's so seemingly odd a ministry among the Gentiles; given that Israel was Prophesied to rise first - Isaiah 2 and Isaiah 60.
lol - consider this Advanced Acts 9 Position, brother.
Rom.5:8
Prov. 27:17
