Acts 2:38 is the best verse in the bible

Acts 2:38 is the best verse in the bible

john 3-16 if we asked Jesus in our heart's and we realy mean it you are saved and still have the holy spirit living in side you.i was going to a church you could not wear jeans because that's all I had I was told the same thing that i was not saved. But all i can say is 30 years later i still wear pants and im still have the Holy spirit. i myself just stay close to Jesus put the Lord number one in my life. read the bible. i hoped that help someone. GOD BLESS ALL

Amen to the revelation of his name here o Israel the Lord Our God is One Lord

I think that the spirit was there and so powerful that those of the spirit was being control by the spirit

Joel 2:27 And ye shall know that I am in the midst of ISRAEL, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.
Matthew 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of ISRAEL.
Acts 2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. 22 Ye men of ISRAEL, hear these words;

they gave themselves to to the teaching of jesus preached to them already.the preaching constitute the death,ressurrection,and ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ.They lived the cross and sacrificial life for Jesus' sake

This scripture is the core chapter, pretty much, of the Apostolic Pentecostal faith. An amazing experience they had and that we still have today. I got the holy ghost when I was 4 years old. I've been in church all my life and I've had Acts 2:38 down and memorized. That verse changed my life. Knowing that people in the bible could be filled with God's spirit is something so supernatural to me. And also knowing that it can still happen to people today. Anybody! I love being Apostolic Pentecostal because it has changed my life. I don't know how I could live without this chapter and my church family. The Holy Ghost is the best thing that has ever happened to me and each time I get it I never feel better! Thank you Jesus! :)

No one went to heaven, not even David. There is
a resurrection from the dead. See Jhn. 3v. 13,
1 Cor. 15

I believe these were christtians who continued to study the word of God, prayed single mindedly, had fellowship to gether and support each other, they understood that what they had belonge to God

Wearing of clothes does not commend us to God. The Holy Spirit is given when we believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and then we are baptized by fire in the Holy Spirit. John baptized with water, but Jesus told John ye will be baptized with fire. Have faith in God, for we are saved by grace, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, not of works less any one should boast.

I have a question, my soon to be twelve year old daughter who has been blessed by the gift of speaking in tounges went to church Friday night and spoke in tounges she was so excited ! The next day she was getting ready for her dad to pick her up and put on a pair of jeans . When she walked into the living room , her grandfather saw her and said, You won't have the holy ghost no more if you wear jeans! Is this true?

thts the backbone of the church or foundation

This comment is to Andi Meekcold. Jesus came to bring life to all who will believe in His death, burial, and resurrection. He took your sins upon himself, Andi, so you would not have to go to hell. He is our sacrifice for sin. We receive the atonement through obedience to Acts 2:37,38. Repent(ask forgiveness for all wrongdoing and turn from evil), be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ, and the Lord will fill you with the Holy Ghost with evidence of speaking in tongues. He died for you, Andi. Find an Apostolic Holiness or United Pentecostal Church and attend to hear what you must do to be saved. God bless you.

I believe they were believing men who gave their lies over completely to the teachings of Christ. Giving their lives and everything they possessed to spread God's word.

And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy Acts 2:19

i were told that this verse means that while jesus were asleep in the grave he went down to hell and preached to them that had not heard the true gosple but i can not find this in the scripture

If it is in the Bible, then it is true or the Apostles are deceiving all the people in the upper room. Jesus said that he would send the comforter, making the Holy Spirit subservient to him. That makes the name of Jesus the all in all "person" in the godhead bodily. Jesus even said do all things in his name.

The holy bible is clear and opened for all human but to understand the verse we should have the holy spirit because the bible was written by the God's people filled with the holy spirit, if we would try to understand the bible as human will be wrong so we should pray to God to understand, the bible says we can't add and subtract one word to the bible, (So it is very clear to understand Jesus said Matthew 28:19 to the apostles before he was crucified. Literally in Acts 2:38 the apostles were filled with the Holy Spirit and then Peter stand before said unto them repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. Same baptism was said by Paul also. Jesus said if you love me then obey my word. Such people cannot obey the word because they are not anointed apostles.

Baptism was originally used like an "altar call" at a Billy Graham crusade. Peter indicates that the washing isn't what saves you, but the "answer of a good conscience towards God." It is believing to the point where you openly respond to God, and are willing to be openly associated with Christ. Baptism is a vehicle to openly identify with Christ. The quality of faith is what saves you. The thief on the cross wasn't baptized, but he believed to the point where he was willing to call out to Christ and be open about his faith in Christ. There are plenty of scriptures that tell of salvation apart from baptism, but a faith that is willing to be open and public and not secret is always evident. If you realize that baptism was the usual way people responded to the gospel message and openly identified with Christ, then it explains passages connecting baptism with salvation and also explains passages and saved people who have no connection to baptism. Other ways to demonstrate open faith in Christ: call upon Him, confess Him, love your neighbor, etc.

You need to know whom you are dealing with. And know this is is Jesus whom you have put your mouth on and are putting to death on the cross the one God send to save the sick and heal the land of dieses .Give sight to the blind because you have to give account of your wrong and what you do.

In answer to Rosalina's Romans Chapter 3 comment on 9/14/2013, 11:52am...If we have faith in the blood of Jesus Christ--then we will BAPTIZED IN JESUS name. Then and only then can/will the blood be applied for the REMISSION OF SINS. Peter said on the day of Pentecost--BAPTISM WAS FOR THE remission of SINS.

Matthew 26:28 | Read whole chapter | See verse in context
For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
Acts 2:38 | Read whole chapter | See verse in context
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.
Just believing is no good--we must FOLLOW the INSTRUCTIONS found in the word of GOD>

I think it is very clear, what peter is talking about when he says repent and be baptized, everyone of you; in the name of JESUS CHRIST ACTS 4:8 then peter filled with the HOLY SPIRIT,said to them rulers and elders of the people if we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a cripple and are asked how he was healed then, know this you and everyone else in isreal it is by the name of jesus christ of nazareth whom you crucified, but whom god raised from the dead that this man stands before you completely healed. salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.

Its easy to see how well all the verses harmonize together. Mark 16:16, He who believes and is baptized shall be saved... Acts 2:38 And Peter said unto them repent and be baptized everyoneof you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins..... Romans 6:1-6 says we are "Buried with him by baptism into death." But then you get to verses like Eph. 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith... That is excatly right. Faith leads us to repentance. We confess Christ because of our faith. Romans 10:9 Faith makes us do all these things. We are buried with him in baptism and raised THROUGH FAITH. Col 2:12

Re:These are my comments to Rosalinasaysonkotapay's John Chapter 5 comment on 9/19/2013, 2:57am... (Number 1): Matthew 18? The angel said,“You are to give Him the name JESUS, because He will save His people from their sins.” Acts 4:12 says,“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is NO OTHER NAME under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. Acts 2:21 says, “Everyone who calls on the NAME of the Lord will be saved.” (Number 2): 1 Corinthians 3:15, If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire. Jesus My Savior

(This is my response to Lurline's comment dated 9/15/2013 at 5:20pm on Chapter 15 about verse 4):

God is a JUST GOD. He will NOT let it happen that His words shall NOT make known unto ONE flesh before the end come...In the last days, God shall pour out His Spirit upon ALL flesh ( Acts 2:17)...To pour out His Spirit means to make known His words ( Proverbs 1:23)...This shall be done after the gospel shall be preached to ever creature ( Mark 16:15-16) in all nations ( Matthew 28:9-20)...in all the world, and then shall the end come ( Matthew 24:14).

That is awesome!

Jesus said in Matt 26:28 that He shed His Blood "for the remission of sins." This same exact phrase is found in Acts 2:38. We know that Jesus did not shed His Blood because we were already saved, but in order that we would be saved. Peter is pointing out here, what Paul expounds upon in Rom 6:1-6 and Gal 3:27...that by be baptized we are contacting the sin cleansing Blood of Christ. Certainly we are saved by His grace of coming into this world and dying on the cross. But it is by being obedient to His word that we have faith in. Eph 2:8,9 do not say we are saved by faith ALONE. That word was added by men. We are saved by faith in that we believe His word and obey it. Those in Acts 2:37 were pricked in their hear...they believed....and when they asked "what must we do.." Peter said "repent and be baptized everyone one of you in the name of Jesus Christ FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS.."

It seems that we have forgotten about Ephesians 2:8 & 9. We are saved by Grace. Baptism does not save us. We get baptized because we are saved.
