The Book of Acts relates that Jesus, after his death and resurrection, appeared to the disciples for forty days, and promised them that they would be baptized no longer by water but by the spiritual force from above.
And so when the first day of the Jewish festival of Pentecost arrived, the Christian Pentecost occurred, and the new alliance was sealed with the gift of the spirit, and thus the disciples of Jesus received a new spiritual strength, the disciples were baptized in the salt and the fire (Mark 9:49).
The arrival of the Holy Spirit in tongues of fire marked the birth of the Church and from there began the preaching of the Kingdom of Heaven by the apostles.
And among the most notable events of this day of Pentecost was the first speech of the apostle Peter, which he addressed to the crowd, who were mostly Jews, that approached to the disciples for the miracle that had occurred.
In this speech, Peter testified to the divinity of Jesus, and that the doctrine of the Kingdom of God is more than a philosophical teaching, it is also the action of the spirit among men.
With these words, the apostle Peter preached and bore witness to the spirit and the divinity of Lord Jesus: "God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of it. Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear" Acts 2:32-33.
With the preaching of Peter, who was filled with the holy spirit, many were moved and many were baptized in the name of Jesus, the early church thus began to take its first steps, as the Book of Acts explains: "Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day" Acts 2:41.
