Acts 2:1-13

The Central Idea of the Text is that God poured forth His Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost just as He promised, and the church was born (Matt. 16:18; John 14:16-17; 16:7, 13; Acts 1:4-5).  In Acts 2 the church was purely Jewish, but Acts 8, 10 and 15 will reveal that Gentiles will have an equal place in the body of Christ (cf. 1 Cor. 10:32; Gal. 3:26-28).
