Acts 16:30-31 "He brought them out and asked, 'Sirs, what must I
do to be saved? They replied, 'Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will
be saved."
Therefore, the first step to salvation is to believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ as your Savior.

(Refer to Acts 2:38 in Step 2.)
Acts 19:1-6 "There he found some disciples and asked them, 'Did you
recieve the Holy Spirit when you believed?'
They answered, 'No, So Paul asked, 'Then what baptism did you recieve?'
' John's baptism, ' they replied. Paul said, 'John's baptism was
a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe
in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus.' On hearing this,
they were baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. When Paul placed
his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came and they spoke in tongues."Here
we have clear biblical evidence that once you have believed, repented,
and been baptized, you will recieve the Holy Spirit with the evedence
of that being you will speak in a language you neither know nor have learned.
Oh, by the way, would you like to know what happened to the man in Acts
16 from the beginning of our lesson? Verse 30 of Acts 16 says that
"immediately he and all his family were baptized!"
