Notice your own words the Cross is visited before verse 38.
That is my only message.... Bub!

Sorry, but finding those verses in the book of Acts is comparable to the Gospel's in the midst of the rest of the bible. No easter egg hunt required.
Remember RevRandy said the book of Act's not just
Acts 2:38.
Acts 2:38 is along the journey to salvation.
The bub comment was because it seemed like you were arguing with what RevRandy posted, but you were arguing about something that wasn't even posted and then what you posted implied that the Gospel wasn't in the book of Acts when in fact it is.
All this nonsense of trying to say that traditional apostolics bypass the gospel and are only concerned with people being wet and "acting" like they're drunk in the Holy Ghost is deserving of the El Toro award. We preach, convert and accept baptism, and the gift of the Holy Ghost as a result of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
When I was baptized and filled with the Holy Ghost I fully understood why I needed and was accepting of it. I was mostly convinced of it because of the book of Act's where it told me what I had to do because I was pricked in my heart. I'm sure most others were the same. Of course we heard the Gospel and
that is why we did what is commanded of us.
