D&C 55
The Lord reveals to W.W. Phelps, essential first ordinances saying -
"...after thou hast been baptized by water, which if you do with an eye single to my glory, you shall have a remission of your sins and a reception of the Holy Spirit by the laying on of hands..." (Doctrine and Covenants 55:1)
The Lord specifically teaches that the reception of the Holy Spirit does not automatically come but is given by the laying on of hands.
