The Acts of the Lord in Acts 1 and 2 I said, “ What's baptism's purpose? Remission of sins!” (Acts 2:38). He said, “But the Lord saves, not baptism!” Note the Lord's doings (Psa. 118:23). Answer the following questions. 1. Who by David spake of Judas? (1:15) 2. Who showed whom he had chosen? (2:24-25) 3. Who gave utterance to the apostles? (2:4) 4. From whom did Joel get what he taught? (2:17ff) 5. This judgment (2:19) is of whom? 6. Salvation is of whom? (2:21; Psa. 3:8) 7. Who died to save us? (2:23; Rom. 5:9-10; Ac. 20:28) continued...
The Acts of the Lord in Acts 1 and 2 8. Who raised up Jesus? (2:24) 9. Who allowed for witnesses to exist? (2:32) 10. Who exalted Jesus? (2:32-33) 11. Who made Jesus Lord and Christ? (2:35) 12. Who told Peter to say 'repent'? (2:38) 13. Is baptism the Lord's command or men's? (2:38) 14. Whose promise of salvation is in 2:39? 15. Who is calling? (2:39) 16. Who worked with apostles? (2:43; Mk. 16:20) 17. Who is doing the adding? (2:47)
Acts 2 and Salvation 1. Peter's sermon had much about Jesus, and Jesus came “to seek and to ______” the lost, Lk. 19: SALVATION promised first at Jerusalem, Lk. 24: Joel's words mention being SAVED, Ac. 2: The question, “What shall we do?” concerns itself with SALVATION, Ac. 2: Peter's answer has to do with the REMISSION OF SINS, Acts 2:38.
Acts 2 and Salvation 6. The Promise of Acts 2:39 deals with SALVATION. 7. Peter exhorted in Acts 2:40, “SAVE yourselves...” 8. Those Baptized were added (Acts 2:41) to the church. Those added were SAVED, vs Those who were baptized had gladness (Acts 2:46) and praised God (vs. 47). People who are SAVED respond that way! (Acts 8:35-39; 16:30-34) CONCLUSION: Those who say baptism has nothing to do with being saved, ERR. It is “for the remission of sins” (Acts 2:38). Peter says “Baptism doth also now ______ us... by the resurrection of Jesus Christ,” (1 Pet. 3:21).
