A companion Bible study from Vince Baker Ministries
What does Pentecost show about being immersed in the Holy Spirit?
The Spirit fills the gathered disciples, their speech becomes a public witness, and Peter explains the event from Joel.
Read the passage in context
- Acts 2:1–18 · KJV
Read the title in the setting of Jesus’ promise in Acts 1. The sound, fire-like appearance, and languages draw people into a public encounter with the message of Jesus.
From the passage to daily life
Peter quotes a promise that includes sons and daughters, young and old, and servants. Look for the breadth of the promise before focusing on any individual experience.
