I could very easily say as well that the Gospel, without Acts, is powerless. It takes the gospel, and our response to the gospel, for one to be born again. It is not enough that Christ died if I do not respond in faith to that "Good News". There may be some out there that have disposed of the work of Christ upon the cross, and just try to give a ritual of Pentecost, but I ain't one of them. If I will be a follower of Christ, I will take up my cross, and crucify myself, be buried with HIM in water baptism, and resurrect with HIM by the quickening of the Holy Ghost.
