No, Acts 2:38 does not explicitly state that water baptism comes before the baptism or indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

Look again in Acts 10:44-48 and Acts 11:13-18. The order was baptism of the Holy Spirit and then water baptism. Water baptism symbolizes what has already taken place spiritually in the believer.

We have discussed this over and over. You are speaking of the case of Cornelius, and the pouring out of the Holy Spirit there is not for salvation, but to fulfill prophecy.
