We must repent (turn to Jesus and away from sin) AND be
water baptized in the name of JESUS so that our sins are washed away by His
blood.
If we do these two things JESUS promises He will fill us
with His Spirit, the Holy Ghost. This promise is to us if we will allow JESUS
to fill us with His Spirit.
Through praise and worship, we are completely filled with
His Spirit when we have allowed JESUS to control our tongue, speaking through
us in other “tongues” (languages) that we have not learned.
"And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and
began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance." -
Acts 2:4
When the people heard the preaching of Peter, how that Jesus
died in our place for our sins on the cross, was buried, but on the third day
rose from the dead, alive forevermore, they were “pricked in their hearts”. The
gospel message brought sharp pain to their heart and great sorrow.
"Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their
heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren,
what shall we do?"
"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized
every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye
shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost."
"For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and
to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." - Acts
2:37-39
