Repent and be baptized

John’s baptism was for Jews under the law covenant and indicated their repentance of sins they had committed against that law. Their being baptized by John’s baptism showed their repentance and Jehovah forgave them their sins. But this case at Acts 2:38 was different. Peter was talking to opposers.

Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” - Acts 2:38 #Verseoftheday

Acts 2:38 (Bible Verse/Scripture Origin) This Bible verse quotes Peter talking about repenting and being baptized so that one might have his sins forgiven and receive the Holy Spirit. Peter's words encompass the whole idea of Baptism, in which Original Sin is forgiven and the Holy Spirit is upon us through the Sacrament.

Acts 2:38 Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."

“Repent and be baptized, each of you, in the Name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost. For the Promise is for you and for your children, and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call.” And with many other words Peter testified and strongly urged them, saying, “Be saved from this corrupt generation!” Acts 2:38-40
