What did Peter tell the children of Israel to do at Pentecost and what did he promise them?
At Pentecost, Peter instructed the children of Israel to repent and be baptized every one in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin. He promised that they would receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. This process applied to Israel; for Gentiles, the format is inverted.
Les explains that Peter's message at Pentecost was directed specifically to the children of Israel. He told them to repent and be baptized every one in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin, and promised they would receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Les notes that this was the process for Israel, but as soon as you go to Gentiles, the whole format is inverted. Peter continued preaching, and the timeline places Stephen about seven years after Pentecost.
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.
