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.

ACTS 2:38 IS THE ONLY PLAN OF SALVATION.

We must be baptized in water in the name of Jesus to be saved.😇 I know this because I was raised in a traditional religion that said all you have to do to be saved is believe. Sorry , I can believe I am a grasshopper but does that make me one . Amen

To Lestie o 1 Peter ch.3 - This is only for your info'; it's not condemnation; 1 Peter 3:20-21; Jn. 3:5; 2 Pet. 3:16; Jas. 1:22-23; 2:17-18,24-26; Acts 2:38; 8:39; Mk.1:10; Matt. 3:16.
Note: the last 2 are the words of Jesus.

To Rodney- again; I know I said in my last message that it was 'all', but I did need to explain more of why I 'attacked' him; He is a pastor, right? I'm not angry nor indignant with him; it's just I was raised to believe pastors are to seek God for their guidance and answers; not their flock. The pastors are to teach the flock, not vice versa. We are DEFINITELY not to teach the pastors, 1pet.5:2.

Matt. 16:18 - yes, "my church". Jesus' church, as found in Acts ch. 2. That's when Jesus' church began. Acts 2:38 is HIS plan of salvation - just as He said in Matt. 28:19 - in the NAME of ........... Just as the people tried to, and did for awhile, frustrate the temple bldg., so do people rail now against the TRUTH of God's word being preached. They want their ears 'tickled'.

To Rodney - Since you are assuming I attacked a man of God and could not 'hear' my tone of voice - nor discern my attitude - this is all I will say, except - I do thank-you for the response, God Bless you.

To Irene123. It seems to me like your knowledge has you puffed up....Why would you attack a Man of God when he is simply asking a question about Peters nakedness.

V. 9 - I have to 'smile', or laugh, when I read this verse. I was raised in a 'pharisee' church, a mainline church. All strict protocol; no emotion, but then emotion was strictly 'boxed up' - tightly. Now, I'm in a TRUE church of Jesus Christ - salvation by Acts 2:38 and shouting praise, clapping hands, running the aisles in the spirit and beautiful songs, worship.

To Jerry Parker - You've read 1 Jn.3:24. Now go to Acts 2:37-38 to see HOW we have His spirit in us. Notice the people said, "Men and brethren, what must we DO?" Living for God is not a 'passive' thing; you have to DO something physically, just as Jesus did; He did not passively die on a cross. He DID something to save us. And you SHALL receive; that is a PROMISE; God cannot lie.

Something I literally just now noticed - I went to ch. 3 and saw Peter's healing of the lame man at the gate; somewhere I read (not on here) that this was the Apostle's first healing. No, it wasn't; in ch. 2, after the message, "many signs and wonders were done ....."; the 'gate' healing was spoken of as a miraculous miracle because of their 'instant' faith, right on the spot.

To Bible Reader on salvation - repentance, baptism in the name of Jesus; do you include the 'evidence' of tongues in that .....?

To Dominic B. - God is ONE. Deut. 4:39; 6:4; Isa. 42:8; 43:11; 44:6,8; 45:5-6, 21,22; 46:9; 47:8,10.
Jesus IS God - MANIFEST in the flesh, John 1:14 ( John 1:1 - and the word was God) 1 Tim. 3:16. Acts 2:38 shows God's NAME (Matt.28:19) is Jesus; not 'father, son and holy ghost'; those 3 were God's attributes; as a man is son, father, brother, uncle, grandfather, whatever a man is.

To MPHATSO - the 'more' you need is - ACTS 2:37-38. If you need more than this - then you're out of luck.
Acts chapter 2 is where the of Jesus Christ began; chapter 2 is the very 1st message preached in the church. All the books hat follow are to ALREADY established churches; they are instructions on what GOD (not man) expects of His people. There is an ORDER to God's word; it's not hit or miss.

To Jane on 1 Cor, 15:1-4 - Acts was the beginning of the church (Acts ch. 2). Everything after Acts was written to ALREADY established churches, they were already saved. The ONLY plan of salvation is Acts 2:38. 1 Cor. 15:v.1 - .....which also ye have RECIEVED (past tense) wherein ye also stand. They are now 'standing' in their salvation.

To Joseph on v.30 - as you see it; Heb. 11:1. Also, it says 'tree', so how do you know it wasn't a literal Olive or Fig tree, still growing in the ground? He was 'nailed' to something. but as I see it - that/s what saves us and is important: Acts 2:38 is our salvation: PETER said so (and so did Jesus in Matt. 28:19). The 'tree' is just something one uses as a distraction to those searching.

To TKN95 on Matt. 28:19 - Here are 2 answers - they DID baptize in the NAME ( Acts 2:38); they DID go into all the world, albeit a little slowly ( Acts 11:19). But even today, as Christians, we are sometimes 'slow' to respond if it seems scary or what ever the case may be. But HE knows how to get His work done, i.e, persecution, and etc.

To Frances on Pro. ch.1 - I hope you read Acts ch. 2 also ) Acts 2:37-38 - :men and brethren, what shall we do? .....................)

Amen Irene. Acts 2:38. And today the pastor said the same about Acts, that it is the beginning the church.

This prophecy is sent by commandment of God Almighty. Read and retain for reproof, instruction and your salvation. The following events mark world descent into spiritual damnation, or hell: the Syrian President will visit the United States for what appears to be a diplomacy visit. During the visit, the US will experience large-scale blackouts, particularly in the northeast, coastal and metro areas. Soon after, during the blackouts the LORD JESUS CHRIST will save the faithful, children, teens, the destitute and others from around the world. Immediately proceeding this event US coastal cities and military bases, beginning with NY, will fall under nuclear attack from Russia, China and others. Cities will lay desolate with the remaining people devastated and the world in chaos. Anarchy, famine, enslavement and horrible deaths will ensue. Repent and ask JESUS to save you from this hell. Acts 2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Romans 2:28-29 says For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:

29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit,and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

Acts is the book of actions of the apostles of the early church.

2 Tim 2:15...to correctly divide the scripture.
So if u r not a Jew, please follow the gospel 1 Cor 15:1-4 to be saved. The book of Acts is a transitional one.

and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. Luke 24:47

To LU2677 - yes, the "hearers only" are the ones take Rom.10:13 and leave it at that. They "confess with their mouths" and go no farther. So why did Peter bother preaching Acts 2:38 after the people asked, "What shall we do?"

To Jessica on v. 3 - It was just an ordinary snake, albeit very poisonous, that God used to get the attention of the island people so Paul could witness to them of His God, about His healing of bodies and souls. Acts 2:38

To Nisa n Acts - Yes, Acts is an 'extension', but more than that - it is the very beginning of the Church of the Lord JESUS Christ. His last instructions to His disciples were chapt. 1, then Peter preached the very 1st sermon in ch.2. In Acts 2:38 Peter gave, in this sermon, the one and only way we are to be saved. Notice v.37 - "what shall we do"? V. 38 was Peter's answer, from God.

Amen Stephen. We all must have the holy ghost spirit. We need the baptism of this spirit. its Gods power. The evidence is u will speak in tongues. This is God that dwells in you. He leads you to all truths. He shows u how to lead a christian life. And CH 8 says you are none of his without it. This is for ALL mankind. Ask to be filled. Acts 2:38 also. Praise him always.
