Thanks for posting this. Also, thanks for diggin into the letter of Acts. I had been wondering why in the book of Acts Peter[and Paul]seemed TO want to place a ritual of baptism on the ones who received the spirit? I guess it is easy to think that they might have assumed that was what God wanted at the time especially since there awareness was still growing but, I wonder if this baptism was simply something they thought was what a 'gentile' needed upon believing?
