WHAT FOLLOWS REPENTANCE AND WATER BAPTISM? by steve finnell
What follows repentance and immersion
in water? According to the apostle Peter, forgiveness of sins and
receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit follows repentance and baptism. On
the Day of Pentecost Peter preached Jesus as Lord and Savior and then
told them to repent and be baptized.
Acts 2:36-38 "Therefore let the house
of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you
crucified, both Lord and Christ." 37 Now when they heard this , they
were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles,
"Men and brethren, what shall we do?" 38 Then Peter said to them,
"Repent, and let everyone of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ
for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy
Spirit.(NKJV)
What follows believing that Jesus is
Lord and Christ, repentance, and water baptism? The answer is
forgiveness of sins and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 2:38 And Peter replied, "Each
one of you must turn from sin, return to God, and be baptized in the
name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; then you also
shall receive this gift, the Holy Spirit.(TLB-The Living Bible)
