After the message,

- their fellowship was true

2. THE PROMISED PENTECOST FOR CHRIST FOLLOWERS
Acts 2:37-39; Luke 3:16; 24:49; John 7:37-39; 14:12-17,26; Acts 1:4,5,8
Following Christ makes us a recipient of great grand promises. At the entrance of the kingdom is the promise of salvation. The higher we aspire the more we benefit. Following on we discover sanctification, spirit baptism, peace, joy, and many more things. There is till a lot if you can continue.
In the other way round, there is GRACE at the entrance, as you move on there is GODLINESS and GIFT of the Holy Spirit
