• What is different in what Peter says in this
  sermon as compared to the one he gave on
  Pentecost?
• Baptism with water is not mentioned.
• What is the central point of this sermon?
• It is the forgiveness of sins. Perfect behavior
  makes one righteous in God's sight. But all have
  sinned and come short of such a standard of
  righteousness. Thus God has provided another way
  for people to be reckoned righteous. Through
  Christ's atoning work on the cross people are
  reckoned righteous in God's sight based not upon
  their behavior, but based upon the forgiveness of
  their sins.
