It was essential to Jesus:

Number one Jesus said, it is far better that I go away, why that he might send unto you another comforter.
Acts 2:4 is not about tongues, nor is it the gift of tongues, it is as the bible teaches the Gift of the Holy Spirit.
Each Gospel mentions what was to come and who would do it.
Mt 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
Mr 1:8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
Lu 3:16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:
Joh 1:33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
Acts 1:4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
Acts 1:5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
Jesus said don't go anywhere until the promise of the father comes speaking of the Holy Spirit, and we know by the Gospel of John the disciples where already born again according to John:
Jo 20:21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
23 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
Verse 8 in chapter one tells us why they where to wait:
Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Power to be a witness to Jesus
Notice the Holy Spirit was to come upon not within
The all that was in the upper room and received was 120
Acts 2:3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
The Holy Spirit came upon them, filled them and then they spoke in tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.
This is not the Gift of tonuges, but the Gift of tongues but the Gift of the Holy Spirit.
The tongues is a result of receiving the Holy Spirit, this is speaking in tongues and one can do it at their own will after they received the Holy Spirit.
This is the first bible witnes, the bible calls for two or three to establish a thing.
Acts 10:43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
44 � While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
All received
The Spirit came upon
The said it was the Gift of the Holy Ghost because they heard them speak with tongues.
Acts 19:2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.
Acts 19:3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John�s baptism.
Acts 19:4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
Acts 19:5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Acts 19:6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
Acts 19:7 And all the men were about twelve.
The question was asked have you received the Holy Spirit since you believe, or where saved, we have not heard of no Holy Spirit, and again the Holy Spirit came on them and they spake with tongues
In every instance it was always upon, all received the holy spirit, this is not the gift of tongues, the gift on tongues come as the spirit wills, speaking in tongues is by the will of man after he receives the holy spirit.
