While Peter was still speaking, the Holy Spirit came down on all those who were listening to his message.

For they heard them speaking in strange tongues and praising God's greatness. Peter spoke up:

And when I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came down on them just as on us at the beginning.

It is clear that God gave those Gentiles the same gift that he gave us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ; who was I, then, to try to stop God!"

and asked them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you became believers?" "We have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit," they answered.

Peter said to them, "Each one of you must turn away from your sins and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, so that your sins will be forgiven; and you will receive God's gift, the Holy Spirit.

"These people have received the Holy Spirit, just as we also did. Can anyone, then, stop them from being baptized with water?"

So he ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay with them for a few days.

When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

Paul placed his hands on them, and the Holy Spirit came upon them; they spoke in strange tongues and also proclaimed God's message.

Go, then, to all peoples everywhere and make them my disciples: baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,

Christ has been divided into groups! Was it Paul who died on the cross for you? Were you baptized as Paul's disciples?

No one can say, then, that you were baptized as my disciples.
