Acts Chapter 2 Discussion Page 33

I believe that acts 2:38 is the key that Jesus give Peter,to share the plan of salvation on the day of pentecost when the Holy ghost was given. I should say the keys to the kingdom of Heaven is what Im refering to...

To Nene Baxter my question is ?. What is the process of a Man's Soul can enter into Kingdom of Heaven basing the word of God.

I thank GOD for the Holy Ghost.and for that day when i was baptized in HIS name. whith out the Holy Ghost we can not be saved it puts a joy in me when i read ACTS 2:38 when they were filled with the Holy Ghost.

Amazing how when everyone came into one mind and one accord in unison, the power of the Lord will show up and fill the whole place where they were and changed the atmosphere, a life changing experience took place of not only those individuals but their entire nations and generations to come. I believe it was the birthing of the new christian church, and today that same holy ghost encounter that took place then is still happening, existing today as we speak. God wants us to know more and have a closer encounter with him daily so our lives maybe filled continuously so his works maybe shown and done thru us.

Acts 2:38 is the only way to make it with out his spirit in us he can not quicken are body john 3:5 says you must be born of the water and the spirit to enter into the kingdom of heaven

Acts 2:38 is the plan, you will find no other about salvation in the bible, try it for yourself.
You will not regret it. God Bless!!

I would like to answer the question: The Bible says in Romans 8:9 that if we have not the spirit of Christ he is none of his, That's why we must be born again in John 3:3-7 of the water and the spirit. Jesus told peter that, in Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. The Bible is true and very well spoken and we must obey. On the day of pentecost peter used that key and he told the people how to be saved in Acts 2:38-47 and the Lord added to the CHURCH daily such as should be saved, the word CHURCH stand out because it was the key to salvation from the plan Jesus spoke to peter about. Please feel free to ask any questions.

this is wonderful, God made a way for us to live a christan life and to have God in our hearts and with us all the time.Without the Holy Ghost I wonder if we would make it o heaven.

Praise the Lord, It's good to know truth in a revelation of God.
1. Father -- Spirit
2. Son -- The Flesh
3. Holy Ghost -- Spirit that indwells your body from God himself.
God look down from heaven and saw none doing good ,not one, read that in ( Psalms 14:1-7) So God being full of his love and mercy to us he made himself a body ( Hebrews 10:5), Hebrews 9:26-28 which is called Son because he came as man, and what can a woman birth? son or daughter correct? God knew that there had to be blood shed for remission of sins so he sacrificed himself by being born of a woman. Please read about the mystery of God. 1Timothy 3:16 God Bless

To reply to these comments on the Holy Ghost, God loves everyone reguardless of your state and condition. We as human has to be very careful of every word comes from our lips, Mark 3:29 do not speak against this or you will lose your soul. Please read the word and study it for youself and ask God for an understanding 1Peter 3:21 believe it, here it and be a doer for the sake of your soul. Read Matthew 16:18-19 where Jesus gave peter the keys to the kingdom of heaven, Acts 2:1 on the day of pentecost when the door was to be open, Acts 2:37-47 where the people gladly received the word and from that day forward they continued in the doctrine that was told them from Peter which has the keys to the kingdom of heaven strictly spoken to him by Jesus in Matthew 16:18-19. We as a people of God has to obey the scriptures and it is not so much as the name of your church, you have to obey truth. First there is faith then repentance,baptism in Jesus Name and receive the Holy Ghost, There is no other name under heaven given amoung men whereby we must be saved Acts 4:12 but in the name of Jesus. There is alot more I would love to share if you would like to know I'll be glad to answer if I can help you. God Bless You All!!

Ok i need to make a few comments an a few of these comments. First off... there is only one God not three. If u have read ur bible u will find that Jesus is not in the Godhead but that the fullness of the Godhead is all in him. Just as my dad is a father, he also is a son and of course he is a spirit but yet he is only one man. And being baptised is a vert vital part of salvation. If it wasnt Jesus would not of told nicodemous that he must be borned of the water and of the spirit to enter in the kingdom. Read matthew. And u right about the name of the church and denomination it doesnt really matter whats in the sign. But u better know that the church stands for truth, upholds a high and holy standerd. oooo one more thing.... the man on the cross next to Jesus was not baptized correc but wasnt he living under the law? Jesus was that sacrifice for his sins. When he cried it is finished his sins were forgiving, but if it had been after the crucifuction he would have had to of had them washed away by baptism.

Shirlely, if you say you believe the whole Bible then you need to believe in the progressive revelation of scripture and where the Holy Spirit tells you in 1st Cor 13, "Where there are tongues, they will cease"

I believe in the entire bible and stand on Jesus Name Babtism and recieving the gift of the Holy Ghost speaking in other tounges as God gives the utterence, the tounges is the evidence if recieving his gift of the Holy Ghost!

Joshua,
There's more to accepting the payment for our sins; you have to turn from sin and ask God to deliver you from the desire for sin and He will give you the Holy Ghost which enables you to live holy everyday.

Uhhhh yes it does...Jesus himself said to repent and be baptized everyone of you for the remission of you sins.

Really Vicky go to a Pentecostal Church. That is what you got out of the verse? God is only one, that is what you think. The Father son and the Holy Spirit sounds as though there are three to me. Three distinct personalities that form the Godhead. I will agree that you should read your Bible. Maybe we all need to get back to what the word says and not what we think that it says.

Verse 21 says "And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved." It doesn't say whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord, and be baptized, and attend an Apostolic Pentecostal Church. If you read the entire New Testament it doesn't even say you HAVE to be baptized to go to heaven. There are verses that speak of baptism as being an important step of faith, but not a requirement for heaven. The man on the cross with Jesus was told by Jesus himself that he would be with him in Heaven, and he was never baptized or attended an Apostolic Pentecostal Church. While baptism is important to the Christian life, and attending a correct bible preaching church is what God wants for our life (not a denomination preference, but a right church) the ONLY key to salvation and heaven is accepting Jesus' payment for our sins. Read John 3:16, Romans 5:8, Romans 10:9-10 and Romans 13, and none specify anything other than belief in Jesus as our savior. Baptism, church membership and daily bible reading and prayer are vitally important parts of Christian life, but the only key to heaven is Jesus himself.

Jesus, the name above all names! You must be baptized in the name of Jesus. God is one, not 3. Be baptized in his name and get filled with the Holy Ghost! Worship in Spirit & in truth. Read your ENTIRE bible and go to an Apostolic Pentecostal Church.

this was the command that peter was given
jesus wants us all saved and filled with the holy ghost he wants every one to be born again and maKE HEAVEN THERE FINAL RESTING PPLACE

I know that this chapter gives to mankind the only formula to be born again. What must we do? Act 2 verse 38 tells us. Please obey it.

Jesus is the visibilty of Gods personality. If Jesus is not God then he(Jesus)is the greatest imposter to ever walk the face of the earth. John 12:42 Jesus cried and said he that believeth on me believeth not on me but on him that sent me. And he that seeth me seeth the one that seen me!!
The oneness of God is air tight you better get it right before Jesus comes!!!

Yes the name of my God is Jesus Christ, the name above every name, the only name under heaven given among men where by we must be saved. Please understand that we can not seperate God from His Word nor His word from Him(God). God was manafest in the flesh..God came unto His own..all things where created by Him (God) and for Him (God)..Jesus Christ. If the Holy Ghost is not god then Jesus is not the Son of God...the Holy Ghost overshadowed Mary...If the Holy Ghost is not God..Then is the Holy Spirit God..? Yes..yes..yes..yes.."God" is all in all. There is no other God but "One". Jesus is that name for us today that speak the English Language..One God not three.

The new name of our Heavenly Father is Jesus Christ. In the old testament our Heavenly Father has many names. The following names are Yah-weh, Jehova, Holy God, Jealous God, Father God, I am who I am. To prove that the new name of our Heavenly Father is the name Jesus Christ through the prophesy of the following prophets : Isaiah 62:2 - shall be called by a new name, Zechariah 14:9 - in that day shall there be one Lord and his name one. In Malachi 1 : 11- my name shall be great among the Gentile nations and one is the Philippines who believed to the living God, the name Jesus Christ was so great to all the Gentile nations who believed God. This name also in the time of Apostle Paul the name Jesus Christ is so great in Acts 19:17. Then in Rev. 3:12 - says the I will write upon him the name of my God, and my new name. To those who opposed / argued that the new name of our Heavenly Father is Jesus Christ. Then, they will give the new name of our Heavenly Father ? or what is his name ? The word Father is not a proper name or a given name. The word Jesus Christ is a proper name but the word Father is a common name or common noun. So the name name Jesus Christ is the new name of our Heavenly Father. To those who against the name of the new name of our Heavenly Father must have to write or reveal the name of their Heavenly Father also?. In Rev. 2:17 - a new name was given and only those who received his name knows him. Jesus Christ is the new name of our Heavenly Father.

Acts 2:38 Tell us all how to be saved thats why I love it! It says clear as day REPENT, BE BAPTIZED IN JESUS NAME, And RECIEVE THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST! The three keys to get in HEAVEN!

Correction for anonymous comment.... FATHER (GOD-YHWH) is same with his SON (Jesus Christ) They are both God, but Jesus is NOT the Almighty God nor the Father is the SON whom manifested in flesh... In ( Prov. 8:22-31)(Gen.1:26), We will see that there are TWO CREATOR mentioned ... And in Jn1:1-3 (( In the beginning was the Word(wisdom/SON), and the Word(Wisdom/SON) was with God(FATHER-YHWH), and the Word(Wisdom/SON) was God.The same was in the beginning with God. All things(ref. PROV.8:22-31) were made by him(FATHER); and without him(Wisdom/SON) was not any thing made that was made.)))) If you have question you can fallow us at THE OLD PATH OR ANG DATING DAAN...See you!!!!

I love the word of God. Luke 24:47-49 and Acts 2:38 & 39 are one and the same, agree even with Mat 28:19 and 20. Jesus (Iesus)is the English translation for(YHWH)God has became our salvation or (YHWH)God salvation & Emmanual(Immanuel) means With us is God(YHWH). What has that to do with anything ? God's word created the heavens and the earth and all things there in (Gen). In John we see: In the beginning was the word and the word was with God(YHWH) and the word was God(YHWH)...and the word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father)..Looking at Jesus in the correct light you see God(YHWH)of the old covenant & the new covenant. For God(YHWH) was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself. God(YHWH) has no blood, he is a spirit..it takes the shedding of blood for the remission of sin..( Heb 10:5).. When he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:..

Pam's, the word Christ cannot be brought to any human being. Even if we used our common thought of understanding w/out basing the bible our God created the human being and then be brought to his creature? You will never read even one verses in the new testament that Christ is the son of Mary but so many verses you will read that Christ is the son of God. There are verses in the bible to remind us for what is God is. Read Num. 23:19, Hosea !!:9, Isaiah 43:10, Malachi 3:6, Jh. 3:6, 4:23&24, Luk. 24:39, 1Tim. 1:17. These verses are the characteristics of our God to believe, so that the Holy Spirit will enlighten us in our study. In 1Cor. 1:24, Christ is the power & wisdom of God. No human being will brought power & wisdom. In Mat. 1:21 Mary's bring forth a son name Jesus and not the name Christ because this name as I said is the power & wisdom of God. The name Jesus who of God is made unto refer to the verses, 1Cor. 1:30 & Acts 2:36. For easier understanding to our worldly knowledge the name Peter, was brought to a lady. Then, Peter became a Lawyer, so Peter be called Attorney, Peter. The word Attorney, was not brought to a lady. This is his knowledge/title & power to counsel. This wwrd Attorney is the same to the word Christ was not brought to a lady. read Mat. 1:16. Additional information the New Name of our Heavenly Father is the name Jesus Christ. In the old testament there are so many names of our God. Ex. Jealous God, I who am I, Holy God, Jehovah, Yahwee.

If my Salvation was found in Acts 2, I would be in a mess. We as gentiles (non-Jews) had no access to God until the nation of Israel was broken off because of unbelief. Israel was Gods chosen people hince him sending his disiples but unto the jews only, hince Jesus Christ when asked stated that he was sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. There was no salvation by Grace in Acts 2. They were still observing the Law, where is your temple to sacrifice? I thank God I am made the righteousness of God by the simply believing & recieving the gift of Gods grace its not dependant (my salvation)upon what I do, but what he did. My relationship might change based on my works, but never my position as a son of God.

Thank you, Lisa that is very good teaching on the only key out of this wicked and adulterous generation. Obey Acts 2:38,and be saved and read 10:41-48,19:1-6 last of all look at the order Jesus told Peter in Matt.16:18-19 the key was used for the first time on the day of Pentecost in Acts 2:1-4. God bless you Lisa F.P.C !!

if we should go back to 1cor.2 vs 7-8 we will see where the scripture's point us to one GOD ONE CREATURE OF HEAVEN AND EARTH,jesus christ who is our lord of glory
