After presenting the Gospel of the death and resurrection of Jesus, Peter presents to the Jews ("the circumcision")
their steps to salvation and receipt of the Holy Spirit(Acts 2:22-37):
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ
for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Later, Peter is in the presence of Gentiles and presents them the Gospel and while he is yet speaking they received the Holy Ghost.
No "repentance", no "baptism", only belief (faith).
Acts 10:44-45 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter,
because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
The Gospel of Grace, The Gospel of Paul, The Gospel for the Gentiles:
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
By which also ye are saved
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 1 Corinthians 15:1, 2a, 3, 4
Israel had the opportunity to accept Jesus as the Messiah and usher in the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth at that time.
As was the case with John the Baptist, genetic Israelites had to repent AND be baptized after receiving the Gospel of the Kingdom.
There would have been a Tribulation at that time of 7 years and destruction of the Temple as prophesied in Scripture.
They failed to accept the Messiah as a nation, and after the destruction of the Temple in 70AD, all opportunity was lost.
Now, almost 2,000 years later, genetic Israel is once again "in the land" and the Temple MUST be rebuilt in order for the prophecy to be fulfilled.
Things are really "heating up" in the Middle East (in case you haven't noticed :laugh: ). The 70th week of Daniel awaits fulfillment...
