What the child does
Read Acts 2:37-39. Write your discoveries beside the pictures.
What it teaches
Distinguish commands, baptismal purpose and promise in Acts 2:38-39, explaining the words rather than only copying them.
Teacher notes
Teach the response in its setting: Peter proclaimed Jesus' death and resurrection. Apostolic doctrine relates repentance, Jesus-name water baptism, and receiving the Holy Ghost to the New Birth. This is a study organizer, not a rigid timeline of every conversion: Acts 10:44-48 records the Holy Ghost before water baptism. The water illustration represents immersion in progress; teach complete immersion. Flame-like shapes recall Acts 2:3 and are not taught as a required appearance in every Holy Ghost baptism.
Answer
Repent; Jesus Christ; Holy Ghost (2:38). They were pricked in their heart after hearing Peter (2:37). 'Turn toward God' is an explanation of repentance, not a KJV quotation. Prayer artwork is a visual aid and must not suggest that prayer alone replaces Acts 2:38.

The Great Commission
Matthew 28:16-20; Luke 24:44-53; Acts 1:1-11 Children learn that Jesus said I am with you alway. Matthew 28:19 is printed exactly as it stands, and the teacher guide reads it together with Luke 24:47 and the baptisms recorded in Acts 2:38, 8:16, 10:48 and 19:5, which is how Apostolic teaching takes it.

Acts 1:12-14; Acts 2:1-36 Children learn that they were all filled with the Holy Ghost and spake as the Spirit gave them utterance, that Acts says tongues like as of fire rather than fire itself, and that Peter preached Jesus to the crowd.
