The Holy Spirit comes down, and those in the upper room are baptized in the Holy Spirit, as God had promised. What is this Baptism of the Holy Spirit and what is the effect on those who receive it? There were various gifts given to them, which we will discuss and make clear as to what they were. We discuss these gifts, how they were manifested, and how the Jewish leadership responded. And we discuss the major benefits to the Church then and today of this baptism.

Cornelius, a Roman Centurion, and follower of the Jewish faith, had a vision of an angel who told him to find Simon Peter and bring him back. Since Peter believed Gentiles were unclean, he should not go. He thought this was a test. But after a discussion with God, Peter realized neither people or food are inherently unclean, so he went to Cornelius and many gentiles were saved and baptized both in water and the Holy Spirit.

The death of Ananias and Sapphira is often misunderstood, being less about what was given and more about hypocrisy. How this was addressed is clearly the work of God. The Apostles continued proclaiming the truth, however the Jewish leadership reacted negativily to this. However, the results were not what the Jewish leadership expected. But a highly respected Pharisee advised them how they should address these new teachings.
