Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted and having received of the father the promise of the Holy Ghost
He has shed forth this which you now see in here for David is not ascended into the heavens
But he sayeth himself the Lord said unto my Lord sit thou my right hand. So again, obviously David's in heaven
But his physical body didn't ascend into heaven. It's only a spirit but Jesus Christ physical body
Literally went up in heaven and it seated at the right hand of God the Father verse 35 until I make thy foes
Therefore let all the house of Israel know us early that God hath made that same Jesus whom he have crucified both Lord and Christ
Now when they heard this they were pricked in their heart and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles men and brethren
What shall we do?
So they just heard how they crucified the Lord they crucified the Son of God and that whoever called upon him was gonna be
Saved so now they're saying like well, what do we do?
What does he say and then Peter said on them repent and be baptized everyone even the name of Jesus Christ for the mission
Of sins and he shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost now
If I just told you you kill Jesus
You rejected the Savior and then I tell you repent. What do you think that that means?
Doesn't that mean like change your mind about who Jesus is?
Isn't it like now I have to accept that Lord now
I have to accept that Christ now. I need to call upon him to be saved. That's exactly what that means
It's all that that means but there's churches that are acts 238 and they say you got to repent of your sins to be
Saved but Jesus here. I'm sorry Peter doesn't even bring up their sin
Obviously it was a sin that crucified Jesus but I'm saying like he's not bringing up that they're fornicators and drunks and
Alcoholics and drug addicts or whatever. He's saying you guys rejected Jesus
You need to repent meaning what they need to accept Jesus Christ
They need to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and if you believe on Lord Jesus Christ, you know what you're gonna be saved
Then he also brings up this
He says and be baptized every one of you the name of Jesus Christ for the mission of sins and your sister receive the gift
Of the Holy Ghost now, they say oh you have to be baptized in order to get saved
wrong
Now he says repent and be baptized and then you'll receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, right?
That sounds like another verse mark chapter 16 verse 16 that whosoever believeth in his baptized shall be saved
But he that believeth not shall be damned now that's saying if you believe and baptized you'll be saved, right?
But you have to be baptized to be saved you have to be baptized to receive that gift because this says
Repent, which would be believe on Lord Jesus Christ and be baptized receive the Holy Ghost
Mark 16 says believe and be baptized and you shall be saved
But what if we didn't have the baptized in either of those equations?
Well, let me prove it to you go if you would actually have to 10. Let me prove this real quick
Acts chapter number 10
You know
Peter could have said
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and stand on your head and you'll be saved and that would be accurate
But you have to stand in your head to be saved
No, he could have said hey believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and let's go to temple and you'll be saved
But would you have to go to the temple? No, but obviously if I'm gonna give you another statement
Like what's the next that there's like what should we do?
Well believe and let's get baptized right just to stamp in the fact that you trusted Christ as your Savior
What's the point of baptism to picture is death, burial and resurrection and that you're signifying with him that you trust that in him
Do you have to physically do that to be saved?
No, it's an outward picture is an outward shine of how you want to live the rest of your life
And once you get saved it's done. So then what's the next step the rest of your life?
So what do you want a picture right after you get saved? How about getting baptized saying?
I want to serve God right away. Okay, but what if you didn't?
You could still receive the the gift of the Holy Ghost. Look what it says in Acts chapter 10 verse 43
This is Peter preaching again to him
Give all the prophets witness that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins while Peter yet
Spake these words the Holy Ghost fell on them all them which heard the word now how many of them have been baptized so far?
zero
But they already received the gift didn't they look what he says in verse 45 45 and they have the circumcision which believe were
Astonished as many as came with Peter because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost
So they had already received the gift of the Holy Ghost
But what step were they on?
Repentance and faith they were on just believing. Okay
Then what he says in verse 47 can any man forbid water that these should not be baptized
Which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we so we compare spiritual with spiritual
Do you have to get baptized receive that gift? No, but obviously Peter when just asked what to do
He's like well, let's get saved and let's get baptized and get the gift of the Holy Ghost. Why not?
Why would he not say that he's not trying to just
Over-emphasize that salvation is by faith alone. He's just trying to make it clear. They're like, what do we do?
And he's just saying well, here's your steps, you know
And in fact when we talk about the Great Commission the Great Commission's not just the gospel
It's to teach all nations and then it's what to baptize in the name of the Father the Son of the Holy Ghost
So he's giving all the steps of the things that you should be doing
So there's no problem in Acts chapter number 2 verse 38
Where he's talking about believe and get saved and then get baptized and then you know
You get this this gift because it's giving you other things to do
