Act 2:40 KJV And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

What we have recorded is the SUMMARY of how to be "saved".

Jamieson, Fausset and Brown:

Act 2:40
with many other words did he testify and exhort — Thus we have here but a summary of Peter’s discourse; though from the next words it would seem that only the more practical parts, the home appeals, are omitted.

Save yourselves from this untoward generation — as if Peter already foresaw the hopeless impenitence of the nation at large, and would have his hearers hasten in for themselves and secure their own salvation.

Acts 2:40 says to "save yourselves", I don't think that heaven or hell salvation is ever spoken of anywhere else in the bible with the term "save yourself." So what does it mean to save yourselves from this untoward generation?
