What Must I Do to Be Saved? Acts 2 vs. Acts 16 Explained

B17L8 What must I do to be saved? In Acts 2, Peter tells Israel to repent and be baptized. In Acts 16, Paul tells a Gentile jailer something completely different — and most people never notice why. ✝️ This verse-by-verse study of Acts chapter 2 and Acts 16 reveals one of the most important distinctions in all of Scripture: God deals with the nation of Israel under covenant, but He deals with Gentiles as individuals. Les walks through the dramatic midnight earthquake at Philippi, the Philippian jailer's desperate question, and Peter's Pentecost sermon — showing why the same God gives two completely different answers to the same question. 📖 Key Topics Covered: • Acts 2:36-38 — Peter's command to repent and be baptized explained • Acts 16:25-31 — The Philippian jailer asks "What must I do to be saved?" • Why Israel is addressed as a nation but Gentiles as individuals • The myth of the ten lost tribes — what "all the house of Israel" really means • Acts 10:44 — The Holy Spirit falls on Gentiles before baptism • Ephesians 1:12-14 — Believe, then be sealed with the Holy Spirit • Grace vs. Law — why believers are not under the Law but led by the Spirit • The indwelling Holy Spirit as the down payment of our full redemption 🔑 Acts 2 repent and be baptized, Acts 16 believe and be saved, what must I do to be saved Bible, Philippian jailer salvation, Ephesians 1:13 sealed with Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit before baptism Acts 10, Jewish vs Gentile salvation plan, grace not law Bible study. 💡 Les Feldick Bible Study brings you verse-by-verse Bible teaching that makes the scriptures come alive.
