He talked about the cross in verse verse 23.

See the Lord God Jehova wants us to believe on him.

Not to be commanded to believe on him.

Peter enlightened the fullness of Matthew 28:19.

In verse 12 of Acts the crowd states, "And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another. what meaneth this?

At the falling of the HG and hearing men speak in languages they were not taught.

Who were they that asked Peter, "What shall we do?".

Was it those who doubted this event of tongues.

The answer of Peter was in response to the question, what must we do?

Then Peter told them Acts 2:38.

John 3:15 Whosoever believeth on him should not perish but have everlasting life.


It states these men doubted the HG and said one to another, what meaneth this?

Now they were pricked in their heart, but Peter did not tell them to believe.

In verse 44 They that believed......

We need to therefor preach Jesus Christ, him Crucified as did Peter leading up to Acts 2:38.

What most Oneness "Jesus only" folks do is skip the verses 12-36.

It is the preaching of the Cross that pricks the heart, Not Acts 2:38.

That is why many Oneness churches baptize many and few stay....

They are given the message of Acts 2:38 and not the finished work of Grace on calvary!

I Cor 1:18 for the preaching of the Cross is to them that perish foolishness: but unto us which are saved, it is the power of God.

The word "which" means because of this.

Because of the cross and us believing in the finished work are we saved.

Is the Holy Ghost the Power of God?

Or is the preaching of the Cross the Power of God?

The preaching of the Cross is the Power of God unto salvation.

The HG is the power of God in us to do his work.

It is not the Power of God unto salvation.

Believe first, grab ahold of the finished work of Calvary through the Grace of God.

Then take your converts to the, what shall we do?

Acts 2:38.

Stop looking at Acts 2:38 through the mirror and seeing the cross behind you!

Turn around and see the Lord hanging on the Cross for the sins of all Mankind!
