Mormon prophet Joseph Smith stated one does not get the Holy Ghost after he is baptized. Acts 10:45 says Cornelius received the HS before baptism
Upvote:3
The actual quote :
Cornelius did not receive the gift of the Holy Ghost until after he was baptized. The Prophet Joseph
Smith taughtthat if Cornelius had not received baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost, the Holy Ghost would have left him
The OP's (mis)interpretation of the quote :
( Title ) Mormon prophet Joseph
Smith statedone does not get the Holy Ghost until they are baptized.( Comment )
Smith saidthis: "Cornelius did not receive the gift of the Holy Ghost until after he was baptized."
The OP confuses the words of the writer, which precede the quote from Smith, with Smith's actual quote, which follow after the writer's own words.
The writer's words are exact, if one sees both water and spirit baptism as conjointly subsumed under the term baptism.
Even if not, Smith's quote still holds true regardless, since, were Cornelius to have rejected either the spirit baptism, or the water baptism, or both, it would have been a rejection of God, and thus God's spirit would have eventually left or deserted him.

OP states the LDS belief [the Holy Ghost's] guidance will not be continuous unless the person is baptized and receives the laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost. and Peter in Acts 10:47 says similar Surely no one can refuse them from getting water baptized, can he? so both agree the Holy Ghost leads to baptism (he wanted them baptized so that they could receive the gift of the Holy Ghost to have it with them always. He didn't say they no longer needed to be baptized).
I believe a principal from an earlier answer applies:
Since this terminology was not standardized for convenience and clarity prior to the twentieth century, readers are cautioned not to expect the early writings of the Church to always reflect this practice, which arose only decades later. Likewise, attempting to read the Bible as if its writers followed the same modern practice is anachronistic, and may lead to confusion and misinterpretation.
Peter probably referred to it as the gift of the Holy Ghost as all good gifts are from God (James 1:17) and the power of the Holy Ghost is no different than the gift of the Holy Ghost beyond time one can feel its influence.
Another biblical example to look to is found in Acts 8:12-25
