Yet that didnt happen to Peter or the 120 or Abraham, or Me, or the dying thief.
Peter received the "gift of the Holy" Spirit, and was not water baptized in that CHAPTER.
SEE, you have a problem with your understanding of the words of Peter, because you are only programmed to think about WATER by a water cult.
Let me help you.
Carefully read this word......>"REPENT">.
Notice it comes before being H20 baptized....in that verse you posted again.
So, Repent of what?
Repent of what Breadoflife?......
This is the part the water cult teachers like you, can't SEE or understand.
To understand the "Repent of what", you have to read the verses that came before :38. to get the context. And if you had done that, you would not be here again posting a false pretext, AGAIN, and AGAIN.
You have to read verses 35, 36, 37, as in those verses you find out what they are to REPENT OF.......
And what is that?
A.) REJECTING THEIR MESSIAH. verses 35-37.
So, once Peter shows them this, they say..>"what must we do"..
He then tells them verse 38.......""REPENT""..............
What is that? REPENT OF WHAT, breadoflife?
That means to repent of their CHRIST REJECTiON.....and that is what Repentance always is, as we always turn from UNBELIEF, TO......BELIEF in Christ.
= From Christ Rejection TO FAITH IN CHRIST = "Repent"...in the verse you posted.
WE all have to REPENT of our UNBELIEF, and then start BELIEVING, as that is FAITH born in the heart that GOD accepts, to Justify you.
"Justification by Faith".
"Justification by Faith"
"Justification BY....=FAITH".
So, When these Jews Repented of their CHRIST REJECTION, by believing in CHRIST, then they were allowed to be water baptized, because they had become born again.
Here is more for you, Breadoflife.....
Acts 8
This is the same you find when Phillip told the Eunuch....>"if you BELIEVE with all your HEART".......>you may be water baptized.
See it?
That is Repenting of unbelief, and turning to FAITH IN CHRIST...which is what Peter is telling them to do, after they asked him......""""what shall we do""""......as he had just told them, they murdered their Messiah, in the verses that precede vs 38.
REPENT OF THIS UNBELIEF, = TURN TO FAITH IN CHRIST.......AND you are born again, and THEN you can be water baptized.
You Believe in Christ, and are born again by God's Holy Spirit, and then, you can be baptized in water, which is symbolic.
