“Yeah, but Roman Catholicism has made it complicated.”

“Roman Catholicism” is an invented Protestant term.

“Christianity is pretty easy to understand....Roman Catholicism...well, let’s just say there is a noticeable difference.”

Yes, Catholicism is true and the Catholic Church was founded by Christ while Protestantism was invented in Germany in 1517.

“Peter made it pretty clear in his invitation (altar call...whatever you want to call it) to the people at Pentecost.”

And yet he then baptized them. Works of Christ in us. It’s not complicated at all. You just deny the truth.

Well, he probably baptized some....but the text doesn't say he baptized them.

But notice the progression.

Peter preached the message.

The people heard it and were convicted.

They believed the word and then were baptized.

Same as with Cornelius.

Peter preached the message. He said,

43“Of Him all the prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins.

Cornelius and others heard and believed and received the Holy Spirit.

Then they were baptized.
