Well now after all the comments about acts 2:38 being the plan of salvation, let me ask this question: just where did the people ask Peter how to be save? Peter just told them the what they were seeing was that which was promise by the prophet Joel.
Joe 2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
Joe 2:29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
Joe 2:30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
Joe 2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.
Joe 2:32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
In explaining this Peter went on to accuse them of crucifying the lord, they were then overcome with guilt and ask Peter how they can rectify their wrong. The answer was to repent. Plain and simple. Baptism is the seal that we perform before God just as circumcision was to Abraham. Romans 4:10-11. We are them promised the gift of the spirit of God when we beleive, it is automatic. Speaking in tongues was not the sign of recieving the spirit of God. Just my humble opinion.
To say one has not received Gods spirit because they have not spoken in tongues is putting your self up as judge and we are not to judge. I have known many that had more of Gods spirit that did not speak in tongues than many that speak in tongues. The word says we shall know them by thier fruits not if they speak in tongues.
Maybee if we quit drawing a line in the sand between trinitarians we would have more luck showing them the oneness than telling them they are lost.
