Correct!

   Acts 2:37-39 says: And Peter said to them, "Repent, and let each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. "For the promise is for you and your children, and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God shall call to Himself." Acts 2:37-39  (NAS)

This is a Promise:

When a person who believes repents and is baptized for the forgiveness of sins...they are promised 1) forgiveness of sins, and 2) the gift of the Holy Spirit (see Lesson 5).  This is a "promise" for "you and your children, and for all that are far off, as many as the Lord our God shall call to Himself."

Do you have faith that God will give you these things if you repent and are baptized for the forgiveness of sins?

Jesus' Instructions Before He Ascended to Heaven:

Jesus said in Mark 16:15-16 --

"Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned." Mark 16:15-16  (NAS)

Jesus said in Matthew 28:19-20 --

"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Matthew 28:19-20 (NAS)

How Many Had Faith and Obeyed?

How many people that heard and believed Peter's sermon decided that they would "repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins"?

  "So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and there were added that day about three thousand souls." Acts 2:41 (NAS)

Are you willing to also have faith (as these 3,000 did) that God will save you if you do the same?
