"Jesus Christ for the remission of sins," -> He died for our sins.
"first of all" -> "Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;" -> Lo & Behold, Paul is giving the Same message as Peter and then gives a bit of additional info.
Gift of the Holy Spirit = born again of the God and Father, the Holy Spirit. John 3:36 - That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Hmmm, that's right, God's word is also Spirit.........that which is born of the Word is Word -> Word wotsup
Oh yea that's right - 1:14 And the Word Man (existing) became = (on the scene) and........ That's Brother Word Jesus, another Word of God
