I seek the LDS perspective concerning Cornelius and his house receiving the Holy Ghost without laying on of hands in Acts 10:44-45

Accepted answer
There is no contradiction to the claims Joseph Smith made. The Holy Ghost is
the convincing power of God unto [them] of the truth of the Gospel (from Joseph Smith quote)
Cornelius and other's in the house felt the Holy Ghost witness to them of the truth. Verse 47 tells us that they felt the convincing power of God and Peter feels like there should now be nothing stopping them from being baptized:
Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
The gift of the Holy Ghost coming after baptism is a doctrine found in the New Testament in 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.
The gift of the Holy Ghost was given by laying on of hands 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.
