使徒行傳第二章主的聖靈隨著從天上來的響聲降到了十二使徒和與使徒一起聚會的眾門徒身上,他們就開始說方言。聽到響聲來看個究竟的猶太人看到門徒們說方言就很納悶,因為門徒們都是加利利人,怎麽會說其他地方的方言呢?並且用方言說的還是神的大作為。他們有些人就猜疑譏誚門徒們是喝醉了。彼得就站起來開始借用先知約珥的話向這些猶太人傳福音,講述聖靈乃是神在舊約裏所應許的,凡求告主名的,要受聖靈的澆灌並得救。彼得然後又引用了大衛王的話,因為大衛的話預言了耶穌的死而複活。最後,彼得對猶太人說“你們釘在十字架上的這位耶穌,神已經立他為主為基督了. ..奉耶穌基督的名受洗,叫你們的罪得赦,就必領受所賜的聖靈”。於是領受了彼得的話的人就受了洗,那一天門徒約添了三千人。從這一章裏彼得所傳講的話語可以看到,他所傳的福音是如何的純正!
徒2:36 故此、以色列全家當確實的知道、你們釘在十字架上的這位耶穌、神已經立他為主為基督了。
"Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified."
徒2:38 彼得說、你們各人要悔改、奉耶穌基督的名受洗、叫你們的罪得赦、就必領受所賜的聖靈.
Peter said to them, "Repent, and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
徒2:41 於是領受他話的人、就受了洗.那一天、門徒約添了三千人.
Then those who gladly received his word were baptized. There were added that day about three thousand souls.
