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.

The word that Gentiles also received salvation spread throughout Judea. The Jewish believers took issue with that. Thus, Peter explained all he had done explaining this was the work of the God, for they also received the gift of the Holy Spirit. After hearing this the Jewish believers glorified God, seeing this was God's work. Then, those who scattered because of what happened to Stephen went to Antioch. The Church there grew so rapidly, Barnabas was sent there, along with Saul of Tarsus. Prophets came as well, one being Agabus, who declared a great famine was coming. Therefore, the disciples in Judea sent a contribution to help them.

Paul's second missionary journey is ending. He arrives in Corinth and meets Aquila and his wife Priscilla who become his fellow workers. After teaching in the synagogue, the Jews opposed him, so he goes out to the Gentiles. Priscilla and Aquila meet a Jew named Apollos whom they then taught him a more accurate picture of who Jesus was, and then he went on and helped all who believed in Jesus Christ and the salvation that comes from grace.
