Acts 2:38--Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
In Acts 2, beginning in verse 14, The apostle Peter lifts his voice and began speaking to the people of Jerusalem as well as the many visitors who were there to observe Pentecost. Peter talked about Jesus. He attested that Jesus proved to be God's Son by the the numerous miracles He performed. He reminded them that they were responsible for His death on the cross. He followed that about talking about the empty tomb. His conclusion was Jesus is Lord and Christ.
Many people in the crowd were cut to the heart and asked what they should do. Peter told them to recite the sinner's prayer and all will be well. WAIT A MINUTE! IS THAT WHAT PETER SAID? The answer is "NO". He told them to repent and be baptized by the authority of Jesus to have their sins forgiven. Now isn't that simple?
