Repent and be baptized, you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit

Acts 2:37-47
Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
This promise is for all whom the Lord our God will call.
Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles.
The Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
God is calling them to himself.
The baptism of 3000 people is followed by a new, joyous sense of community.
This finds practical expression in a readiness to share money and possessions. It is sustained by a new pattern of life.
Breaking of bread: It took place in the context of a shared meal.
How?
Repent and be baptized through Jesus is the respose to the Jesus Christ.
