ACTS 2:38 states the acts of obedience of the first century Ecclesia (assembly or church) to the gospel of Jesus Christ, which is God's powerful way of saving all people who have faith. What did they do and how should we do the same?

Step 1: HAVE FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOUR AND REPENT

• Believe Jesus Christ is Lord and that he died for you.
• Be sorry for your sins and recognize your need of the Saviour as in Acts 3:19.
• Determine to turn from sin and give your life completely to Him.

NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH:

Salvation itself. Believing is absolutely essential, but only the first step! See Acts 8:12–17 and 11:14–18.

Step 2: BE BAPTIZED BY IMMERSION IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

• Be buried with Him by total immersion in water.
• Have the saving name of the Lord Jesus Christ pronounced over you as in Acts 22:16.
• Obtain remission of sins in baptism through obedience and faith in His Name.

NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH:

Repeating the titles “Father-Son-Holy Ghost/Spirit” sprinkling or pouring! See Acts 8:35–38 and 19:1–6.

Please see the article on: Matthew 28:19

Step 3: RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT BAPTISM EVIDENCED BY SPEAKING TONGUES AND THE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT

• Meet the conditions of repentance, faith, and obedience.
• Believe God has promised it and that you can receive it as in Acts 2:4.
• Know that tongues is the initial evidence of receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit.
• The Fruit of the Ruach Ha Kodesh (Holy Spirit) is a biblical term that sums up nine attributes of a person having received and living with the Holy Spirit within, according to Galatians 5:22-23:

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control".

One can speak in tongues all they like however Yahusha (Jesus) said in Matthew 7:16-20 "By their fruits you will know them" If one does not manifest the fruits of the Ruach (Spirit) then they may not be filled with the correct Ruach (Spirit).

NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH: Tongues as a prayer language or one of the gifts of the Spirit! See John 7:38–39 and Acts 10:44–48
