    Part 1 Hello Jacob Daniel is a book of prophecy. It is a companion to the Book of Revelation. The point is that not only were Jews filled with the Holy Ghost on the day of Pentecost, but after Peter gave the salvation plan more were added to the church, amongst these were also Gentiles. The Gentiles had to follow the plan of salvation that Peter declared on the day of Pentecost. This is why the examples of Gentiles being saved were written.

    Hello Joni G In addition to my comment I would like to add. Jesus Christ is God manifested in the flesh. There are not three beings in the godhead bodily to worship. In Jesus Christ dwells the fullness of the godhead bodily dwells, Colossians 2 9. Just like my husband is a father. He is a son. He is a brother, but there is only one of him. This same Jesus Christ is a son. He is the Father. His spirit which is the Holy Ghost, is him also, because was sent back in his name, John 14 26. Jesus Christ is God manifested in the flesh. It is a mystery, but it is the truth, 1 Timothy 3 16. The same Holy Ghost that fell on the day of Pentecost is the same Holy Ghost that is being poured out today. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
  • Evangelist Chatauna Robinson on Acts 2 - 9 years ago
    Hello Joni G There is only one Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost that was poured out on the day of Pentecost is the same Holy Ghost that is being poured out today. The same evidence that was shown on the day of Pentecost after receiving the Holy Ghost is the same evidence today after a person receives the Holy Ghost. You must speak in other tongues as the spirit of God give utterance. There is no two different Holy Ghost. There are many diversities of gifts, but only one Holy Ghost, 1 Corinthians 12 4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit . Paul, being the Apostle to the Gentiles stated that there is one Spirit, 1 Corinthians 12 13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free and have been all made to drink into one Spirit . Our mission today is the same as the Apostles mission of yesterday. We are to spread the word of truth. 2 Timothy 4 2 Preach the word be instant in season, out of season reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine .
  • Joni G on Acts 2 - 9 years ago
    Read John 14 6 12. The last sentence in my above comment wasn 't meant to infer that God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are female. God is spirit and Jesus says it best. Read His words. I, Joni am a daughter, mother and grandmother of 7. God bless us all through Christ.

    Hello Joni G As a teacher, I would like to make one correction. There is only one Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost that was poured out on the day of Pentecost is the same Holy Ghost that is being poured out today. The same evidence that was shown on the day of Pentecost after receiving the Holy Ghost is the same evidence today after a person receives the Holy Ghost.

  • Joni G on Acts 2 - 9 years ago
    Today we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit after we have believed and are baptized into Christ. We don 't receive the Holy Spirit like the apostles did. The purpose of that baptism by fire was to spread the gospel. Cornelius received the Holy Spirit to show the Jews that the gospel is for all people, not just Jews. Today we have the entire Word of God to be nourished by and after we are Christians, the Holy Spirit guides us into all truth. I was with my sister in a hospital room as we both prayed in faith for my brother to be healed. He was! Praise God, the great physician. The Holy Spirit also speaks to God for us when we pray, believing. I agree with Pastor Robinson on the views of God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. It is complex, yet simple. Mom,grandmother,daughter.

    Verse 39 is a quotation from Daniel 9 7. to the men of JUDAH,this matches Acts 2 14 men of JUDEA, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Jerusalem is in Israel see Acts 2 22, and unto ISRAEL, that are near, there were JEWS near, and that are FAR OFF, through ALL THE COUNTRIES WHITHER THOU HAST DRIVEN THEM,. Acts 2 29 is speaking to JEWS or proselytes. A proselyte must become a JEW. Ester 8 17 BECAME JEWS. Take the Gentile way of salvation Rom 10 13, 1 Cor 15 1 4.
  • Evangelist Chatauna Robinson on Acts 2 - 9 years ago
    Hello Stacy I believe that taking a bath is very different from being baptized. I am very sure you know this as well? I am not understanding you point. However, baptism is essential to the salvation plan during this Grace Age that we live in. It has to be the correct baptism and done correctly, and done by someone who has been baptized themselves the correct way and have been filled with the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit of God gives utterance.
  • Evangelist Chatauna Robinson on Acts 2 - 9 years ago
    Hello Jacob When you read Acts 2 39 it states that "For the promise is unto you this means the Jews , and to your children this means their children , and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call this means everybody else who is not Jew this promise is for them to if they follow Acts 2 38 . Isiah prophesied about the Holy Ghost, Isiah 28 11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. When you look at Acts 2 6 thru 11 you will see a word called Proselytes. If I can say it like this, these are people who were not Jewish who were either bought by Jews as slaves or converted into Judaism through faith, Acts 13 42 43. A Proselyte Jew, which was Gentiles, had to be circumcised of the ** just like the Jewish men, Exodus 12 48. Remember person who is not born naturally into the Jewish people are considered Gentiles. Then you have the Gentiles in Cornelius house that was saved, just like the Jews on the day of Pentecost. Please read Acts Chapter 10. Please read my post concerning the thief on the cross. I posted it up under John 14 page 1 of 12. The date of this post is 10 27 14 at 7 25 and 11 01am. Also, please read right below my post to Jane Doe.
  • Stacy on Acts 2 - 9 years ago
    I think that we have to filled with the holy spirit and be of a changed mind. after this we should be baptized, or if not every time we take a bath we are being baptized.
  • Jacob on Acts 2 - 9 years ago
    Part4. The dying thief was not baptized, yet Jesus saved him Luke 23 42 43 . He died before the other two thieves Jn 9 33 which put him dying in the N.T. Heb 9 17 . No water baptism, no works, just FAITH ALONE. Eph 2 8 9.
  • Jacob on Acts 2 - 9 years ago
    Part 2. This is clear from what follows Acts 7. In Acts 8, an individual from Africa is saved before baptism . In Acts 9, an individual from Asia is saved before baptism . In Acts 10, an individual from Europe is saved before baptism . Why didn 't these individual conversions occur before Acts 7? Because the first seven chapter of Acts deal with Israel 1 6 8 2 36 3 12 4 8 10 5 31 6 7 14 7 1 60 . The question of INDIVIDUAL salvation is asked and answered in Acts 16 30 31 ". . . Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. " Those who fail to make this distinction are guilty of violating II Timothy 2 15 where we are told to RIGHTLY DIVIDE the word of truth.
  • Jacob on Acts 2 - 9 years ago
    Every person in Acts 2 is a Mosaic law observing Old Testament Jew. In fact, they are all gathered together to observe a JEWISH FEAST called Pentecost verse 1 . A fair reading of the whole chapter especially verses 4, 14, and 36 will clearly reveal that no Gentiles non Jews are present. Since this involves Jews, it involves a NATION verse 36!! , not individuals. No one asked, "What must I do to be saved? " The question asked concerned the NATION of Israel "Men and brethren, what shall we do? " verse 37 Not, "What shall I do, " but rather, "What shall WE do? " Acts 2 presents a NATION of people who come to realize that they have murdered their blessed Messiah and they 're asking what THEY must do. It 's a question concerning NATIONAL salvation. Isaiah 66 8 says, ". . . shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. " The "nation " is Israel! Romans 11 26 says, "And so all Israel shall be saved as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob. " Acts 2 38 is dealing with NATIONAL salvation. The Messianic Kingdom is still available to the Jews until Acts 7 60 when they kill Stephen , so national salvation remains an issue until then.
  • Evangelist Chatauna Robinson on Acts 2 - 9 years ago
    Hello Jane Doe Not only is speaking in other tongues as the spirit of God gives is very important and essential for a person to have for the rapture, but the correct water baptism is essential to have also. The preacher has to call the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. The correct and true baptism will bring about the following Being baptized the correct way, you are baptized unto his death, have put on Christ, buried with him, and the answer of a good conscience toward God. Romans 6 3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Galatians 3 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Colossians 2 12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. 1 Peter 3 21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ Everyone needs to be baptized and in the correct way so saith the Word of God.
  • Evangelist Chatauna Robinson on Acts 2 - 9 years ago
    Hello Jane Doe I would like to add to my other comment that I hope will come out today or tomorrow. On the Day of Pentecost it states in Acts 2 3 4 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance . The word Cloven means divided or split. It was one tongue but split into two parts. On the one side you have a language that when spoken others can understand and know that God is being glorified. For example, I heard a minister say that when the Holy Ghost fell while he was preaching through interpretation to rural Chinese people a woman was filled with the Holy Ghost she spake in English and magnified God. She had never been taught or spoke English in her life. That is what happened on the day of Pentecost this is why they were amazed because the ones that heard them speak knew that those people in the upper room did not speak may languages as they heard that day magnifying God. Then you have the other side of the tongues speaking in a language that no one can interpret unless God gives interpretation. This is a language that is between you and God. This was again spoken of by the prophet Isaiah 33 19 Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand .
  • Jane Doe on Acts 2 - 9 years ago
    You receive the Holy Spirit when you trust in Jesus for your salvation...you do not have to have the gift of speaking in tongues to be saved...that is a lie...which the word tongue translated would be language...they were speaking in another language and when the people heard them they were amazed ! It is not a requirement for salvation!!
  • Evangelist Chatauna Robinson on Acts 2 - 9 years ago
    Hello Diamon A person needs to do a little more than just believe. The devils believe and tremble, James 2 19. A person have to follow Acts 2 38 in order to be saved. There is no way around it. Faith without works is dead. A person can believe but without works, following through with the plan of salvation, then they are still dead. If they die without putting on the name of Jesus Christ through repentance, water baptism, and God has not given them the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues as the spirit of God give utterance they are lost. If they do follow Acts 2 38 they still have to maintain a saved life.
  • Diamon on Acts 2:21 - 9 years ago
    IF YOU CALL ON THE LORD IN CONFESS YOUR SINS, YOU SHALL BE SAVED AND WILL LIVE EVERLASTING LIFE WITH OUR LORD GOD.
  • Evangelist Chatauna Robinson on Acts 2 - 9 years ago
    Hello Jacob The reason why Paul made this statement to the Corinthian church, because they were already saved. If you read Chapter 1 verses 1 thru 9. Then in verse 10 Paul is letting you know that he came to teach them because there were divisions amongst God s people. He came to teach them so that they can all speak the same. It is not that Paul did not believe in baptism it s just that his job at this time was to teach a people that were already saved and put them on the right track. Paul did believe in baptism. In Acts 19 1 thru 7 Paul himself rebaptized 12 men the correct way and they were filled with the Holy Ghost.
  • Evangelist Chatauna Robinson on Acts 2 - 9 years ago
    Hello Tom Jack Because the scriptures say that there is only one. God is Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnipresent. Jesus Christ is everywhere at the same time. He can perform many functions at the same time. There is no three. God is the Father, God is the Son, and God is the Holy Ghost and his name is Jesus Christ. There is only one being in the Godhead, Colossians 2 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily . There are not three beings in the Godhead in which we worship. He is Omniscient he sees all and knows all, Proverbs 15 3 The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good . 2 Chronicles 16 9 For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.
  • Tom-Jack on Acts 2:38 - 9 years ago
    The Trinity is composed of three personages God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. When one of Them is out front doing something the other two are involved in it in some way.
  • Jacob on Acts 2 - 9 years ago
    Baptism saves no one. It only serves as a testimonial picture of the death, the burial, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ AFTER one has believed on Christ Acts 8 36 38 . Paul said in I Corinthians 1 17 that ". . . Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. " This "gospel " is defined by Paul in I Corinthians 15 1 4, and it does NOT include water baptism. The dying thief was not baptized, yet Jesus saved him Luke 23 42 43 , and John wrote that we are washed in the BLOOD of Christ Rev. 1 5 , not in the water. In fact, the saints in Heaven claim to have gotten there by the blood of Jesus Rev. 5 9 , not by water. By faith in the blood of Jesus Christ one is saved Rom. 3 25 . Water baptism only follows this faith as an outward step of obedience
  • Evangelist Chatauna Robinson on Acts 2 - 9 years ago
    Hello Ar I would like to add to my comment. Our faith is rooted and grounded in the Apostles Doctrine. There are many religions throughout the world, but there is only one faith that the Bible recognizes and that is the Apostles Doctrine which teaches and belief in Acts 2 38 for salvation, Jesus Christ is God manifested in the flesh, Ephesians 4 One Lord, one faith, one baptism. Once you follow Acts 2 38 with the correct baptism you do not have to worry about what religion you should be in because you will be in the correct faith. Acts 14 22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. Even unto the Gentiles the faith was opened unto them, Acts 14 27.
  • Evangelist Chatauna Robinson on Acts 2 - 9 years ago
    Hello Ar I would like to add another comment. I hope that it will get printed. There are many churches that started out and then something happened to them where they either changed the way they do things or a schism caused them to change the way they do things. For example, The Catholic Church used to Baptize actually submerged people in water. However, because of one Archbishop they changed the baptism to sprinkling which is nowhere to be found in the books of Acts. They still believe that baptism is correct they choose not to do it. The Catholics have graven images of Mary and seek her to talk to Jesus for them on their behalf concerning their sins. Salvation and forgiveness of sins do not come from Mary or through Mary. She had to get it like everyone else under this Dispensation of Grace. Salvation comes from Jesus Christ, Acts 4 12 Neither is there salvation in any other for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved . Jesus Christ is God manifested in the flesh, 1 Timothy 3 16. He is the only one that can forgive us of our sins through repentance and the correct baptism. True repentance is a godly sorrow and will affect emotions 11 Corinthians 7 9 10. The correct Baptism brings about a remission or forgiveness or pardon of sins. There is no way around this promise.
  • Evangelist Chatauna Robinson on Acts 2 - 9 years ago
    Hello Ar I hope that they print this to clarify what has been stated There was actually in 1914 the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World founded by J.J. Frazier. He was an oneness preacher. What happened was the following The second body resulted from a schism within the General Council of the Assemblies of God in 1916. That year the General council disapproved of the Oneness doctrine and adopted a Trinitarian Statement of Fundamental Truths. This forced a large minority of Pentecostal ministers and churches to withdraw from the Assemblies of God and form a new group based on Jesus Name principles . The PAW Pentecostal Assemblies of the World started out an oneness ministry, believing that Jesus Christ was God manifested in the flesh. However, some decided to change their belief and started the Trinitarian movement. Those who stayed with the truth continued the oneness preaching. I have been in the PAW for over 35 years. Does this information change what is written in the word of God? The answer is no. Jesus Christ is still God manifested in the flesh, 1 Timothy 3 16. In the end, you have to follow Acts 2 38 in order to be saved.
  • Ar on Acts 2 - 9 years ago
    comment on Mrs Robinsons Acts 2 remark A clarifying note to what This assembly believes is Qte In 1913 there was a great controversy issue in the Pentecostal Assemblies of the world. It referred to a new issue of water baptism. Until then people were baptized as Jesus said in Matthew 28 19 in the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost Some Pentecostal assemblies cut themselves off the main assembly and started baptizing as Acts2 38 says. These people are known as Jesus only believers. Thank you I hope KJV will print this, unless they believe the sme thing as Mrs Robinson
  • Evangelist Chatauna Robinson on Acts 2 - 9 years ago
    Hello Brother Spell I am Pentecostal Apostolic faith believer. We believe what happened on the day of Pentecost is for everyone under the Dispensation in which we live in now, that is the Grace Age. We strictly believe in the Apostles Doctrine. Ephesians 4 5 "One Lord, one faith, one baptism ". We believe what the Apostles wrote concerning the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We believe that in order to partake, be covered by his blood and be truly saved, you must be born again through water and spirit. You must follow Acts 2 38. Repentance is symbolic for death, baptism is symbolic for his burial, and being filled with the Holy Ghost, that only God can give himself, is symbolic for Jesus Christ resurrection. You have to have the correct baptism. When a preacher baptizes you in water and says I will indeed now baptize you in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. He did not call a name, because these are titles. No man on this Earth can baptize anybody with the Holy Ghost, no man. So this is a falsehood in which the Preacher states. The preacher must call on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. I belong to the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World.

  • Evangelist Chatauna Robinson on Acts 2 - 9 years ago
    Hello James I do not understand the correlation that you are making between Titus 3 10. Have I spoken something that is not written? The answer is no. Everything I have quoted has come from the word of God. I did not write the Book of Acts. Luke, one of the Apostles, wrote the Book of Acts. He recounted what Peter stated on the day of Pentecost. Peter response to those individuals on the day of Pentecost tells them how to be saved. I quoted exactly from the Bible what Jesus told Nicodemus about being born again. I have experienced Acts 2 38. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I am in the truth. I know what I am speaking is the truth, because I have quoted directly from the word of God. I will pray for you as well that if you have not followed Acts 2 38 that you will.
  • James on Acts 2 - 9 years ago
    I see why Titus 3 10 is there now. I admit my sin now and confess it to the Lord. I will be praying for you.
