Acts 2:41 (KJV)
Commentary on Acts 2:41
The response - 'they that gladly received his word were baptized' - indicates true conversion requires willing reception, not coercion. The Greek 'apodexamenoi' (gladly received) suggests enthusiastic embrace, not reluctant assent. 'About three thousand souls' added in one day demonstrates Spirit's sovereign power to produce mass conversions while maintaining individual agency. This validates apostolic preaching's supernatural effectiveness.
