To Chatauna Robinson, What you don 't seem to understand is Acts 2, v.38 is the Gospel of the Kingdom to be set up on this Earth not the Gospel of Grace given to the Apostle Paul to get into Heaven. It was a Jewish Feast Day for Jews only and after Christ went back to Heaven it was the Holy Spirit calling for Christ 's Kingdom to be set up in Israel through Peter and the other Apostles. Read Acts Ch. 1 v.6. Right before Christ went back to Heaven Peter ask Christ was He going to set up His Kingdom at that time, meaning like it was when Solomon was ruling. Christ could not tell Peter any other answer except it 's not for you to know. Why because all of Israel had to accept Christ as their Messiah. That 's the reason Christ said it 's in the Father hands so to speak. Then if you read Acts Ch. 3, vs.19 thru 21 if the nation of Israel would have received Christ as their Messiah they would had the Kingdom on earth then but God the Father knew they would not.
