John 3...7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
This means anyone that skips Acts 2 skips the born again experience.
Something to consider.. Reader
The Holy Spirit manifested in Acts 2.
Yet, "Jesus Breathed on the Apostles" in John 20, and said "receive ye the Spirit".
What is that?
That is Genesis, when God "breathed in Adam's nostrils" and Adam became a living Spirit.
See that?
That is the same thing....
So, that bible is interesting, isn't it? as John 20 is what happened before "the day of Pentecost was fully come".......as Acts 2.
In case you are interested.......each chapter of the Acts of the Apostles.....(not the acts of the christians, so dont get confused)..... each chapter is basically 1 year.
So, 28 Chapters, = 28 yrs.
Why does this matter? Its because, God kept on revealing more of the divine plan, after Acts 2.
For example, Peter became insignificant, and Jesus chose Paul to bring "The Gospel of the Grace of God" to the body of Christ and the world at large, as Paul and not Peter is the "Gentile apostle", and you are in the "time of the Gentiles".
This is why Paul refers to the Gospel of the Grace of God.. : as "MY Gospel"........He states this 3 times in the NT.
So, when you read the NT, realize that what Peter was doing, was based on all he knew at the time.
Later, Paul came, chosen as a "chosen vessel", not one of the 12, and God put him in charge of delivering to you, church doctrine, and most of the New Testament, which Paul wrote.... not Peter.
And if you read 2nd Peter......you'll discover that Peter had access to Paul's letter's and said they were SCRIPTURE>.....not just letters.
See that?
That is an Apostle, one of the 12........talking about Paul's letters, and stating that they are equal to the TORAH... at that time.
