This is the reason why they were rebaptized in Acts 19. Look at ch 18 vs 24 Apollos was preaching in Ephesus knowing ONLY the baptism of John see vs 25. Then Aquila and Pricilla expained that Christ had came and died for our sins in vs 26. Then vs 27 he is preaching grace through faith. Now in ch 19 Paul came to Ephesus and they havent heard of the Holy Ghost there. They were not saved!!!! Read Romans 8 vs 9 and in verse 2 they had not even heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. They were not saved!!! Jesus gave the command to the disciples on how to baptize in Matt 28 19 and the Holy Ghost is mentioned there. So Paul baptizes them correctly in vs 4. Now Acts is a transitional book and Doctrine wasn 't straight until the N.T. was written that 's why you have the sign gifts for the Jews who require a sign see 1 Cor 1 22 and they were to confirm the word see Mark 16 20 see confirming the word with SIGNS following. We don 't need signs today, we have Gods word.
