The scripture testifies that, when Peter preached Christ, Peter's words were gladly received, and the same day ...about three thousand souls were baptized.
[Acts 2:38-41]
There is something indescribable about the powerful, life changing, effect of “the gospel of Jesus Christ.”
[Rom 1:16]
So, with the words we have received, let us assure you, again, that faith, repentance, salvation, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost is a work of God. “Let (them) that have an ear hear what the Spirit (is saying) ...” [Rom 2:4; Phil 2:13]
The baptism of the Holy Ghost was fore-shadowed when Moses prophesied, “If thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God ...all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee ...”
[Deu 28:1,2]
Now receive this: “The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth ...that is, the word of faith, which we preach; that ...whosoever (believeth, and repents) shall (receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.)”
[Rom 10:8,13 ;Acts 2:38]

THY WORD IS A LAMP UNTO MY FEET, AND A LIGHT UNTO MY PATH.
“Quicken (Thou)/(baptize) me, according to Thy word.”
[Ps 119:154]
