"(1 Pet 1:23 KJV) Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

Leading up to the Book of ACTS, Jesus instructed them on what they where to believe and preach. Luke 24:45-49

"Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations, beginning in Jerusalem. And ye are witnesses of these things. And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high"

After studing the scriptures we can see how the Church was started and what doctrines the Apostles taught. This was in alignment with what Jesus had told them to preach, "And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations, beginning in Jerusalem".

Do you believe Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior?
Do you believe it is necessary to repent, (turn from sin and give your life to God)?
Do you believe water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ is the biblical way to be baptized?
Do you believe the baptism of the Holy Ghost is for you today and when you receive it you will speak in other tongues,
just as they did in the bible?

If you believe these things, Pray right now, Asking God to forgive you of your sins and Ask him for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
