Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Acts 2:38

John 16 (English Standard Version)

5 But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’
6 But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.
7 Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.
8 And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment:
9 concerning sin, because they do not believe in me;
10 concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer;
11 concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

36 Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”

38 And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.”
40 And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation.”
41 So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.

John 16 (Free Bible Version)

5 But now I'm going to the one who sent me, and yet not one of you is asking me, ‘Where are you going?’
6 Of course, now that I've told you, you're full of grief.
7 But I'm telling you the truth: it's better for you that I go away, for if I don't the Comforter won't come to you. If I go away, I will send him to you.
8 When he comes, he will convince those in the world that they have wrong ideas regarding sin, about what is right, and about judgment:
9 Sin, for they don't trust in me.
10 What is right, for I'm going to the Father and you won't see me any longer.
11 Judgment, for the ruler of this world has been condemned.

35 until I have made your enemies a stool to put your feet on.’
36 Now let everyone in Israel be totally convinced of this: God has made this Jesus, who you killed on a cross, both Lord and Messiah!”
37 When the people heard this they were conscience-stricken. They asked Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?”
38 “Repent!” Peter told them. “All of you must be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 This promise is given to you, to your children, and to all who are far away—everyone the Lord our God calls.”
40 Peter went on speaking, giving them much more evidence. He warned them, “Save yourselves from this perverted generation.”
41 Those who accepted what he'd said were baptized, adding about three thousand people to the group of believers that day.
