Acts 2. The Day of Pentecost


Briefly describe the meaning of the day of Pentecost.
For fifty days after the Passover feast, the Jews participate in a celebration known as Pentecost. At the beginning of the harvest, they give thanks to Heavenly Father through a “feast for weeks.” And He will pour out his Spirit upon all flesh.

List two or three of Peter’s teachings on this day.
Peter tells the story of Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection. He also tells them to repent and to be baptized so they can receive the Holy Ghost and be saved.

In what ways did Peter fulfill his role as a special witness of Jesus Christ?
Peter taught the gospel to everyone he was in contact with. I believe that is what a witness of Jesus Christ is.

What gifts of the Spirit were made manifest on the day of Pentecost?
Everyone was filled with the spirit of the Holy Ghost and began to speak in other tongues.

How did the people respond to what occurred on this day?
They that “gladly received his word were baptized. They continued to be steadfastly in the apostles doctrine, and praising God.”
