Generation

Acts 2:38 states: "Peter replied, '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.'" This verse does not directly teach about perseverance. Rather, it focuses on the initial steps of salvation—repentance, baptism, and receiving the Holy Spirit—which form the foundation upon which perseverance in the Christian life is built.
