New Testament

This is for my assignment: I am supposed to read the chapter summaries from Acts 1-8, 10-12 and the Bible dictionary entry the "acts of the Apostles". I am supposed to share any themes I notice so here goes.
                Note to remember this all happens after Christ was Crucified and ressurected
1. There is a lot of preaching the gospel and getting persecuted for it. the preaching is in preparation for the restoration of the kingdom of God on Earth.  When Metthias was chosen to fill the vacancy in the 12 apostles I think that was an example that the apostles were to continue on the earth and that there should be 12 always.
2. Moses prepared the way for Christ by his prophesies and also he was said to have been a prototype of Christ.
3. Repentance through Christ will bring salvation
4.Miracles are able to be performed even after Christ's death.
5. The gift of the holy Ghost must be conferred by someone who has the authority to confer it. that authority can not be bought.
6. Everyone is able to be taught the Gospel.
7. Everyone is able to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
8. Angels are able to speak to men on earth.
9. The church is guided by revelation
10. All are able to receive forgiveness for their sins.

The next part of my assignment is to read the chapter various chapter headings again and record what Peter was doing in those chapters.
Chapter 2: Peter Testifies of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, He teaches of the path to salvation and the Gift of the Holy Ghost.  I remember my favorite scripture from this chapter as I read, the people knew that Jesus Christ was the messiah and they believed they could repent and they said, "Men and Brethren what shall we do? Peter replied,"Repent and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for a remission of sins and Ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." 3000 people were baptized that day!! awesome!

Chapter 3: Peter Heals a lame man and preaches repentance and teaches of the the age of restoration preceding the second coming, and he also teaches that Christ is the prophet of whom Moses spoke of.
Chapter 4:Peter is arrested for preaching and performing miracles in the name of Jesus Christ and we asked to stop doing such in the name of Christ , but Peter refused.
Chapter 5: Peter is arrested yet again, because of envy by the high priest.  but that did not stop peter the prison doors were opened by the angel of the Lord
Chapter8: Peter goes to Samaria and confers the gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands. Peter rebukes a man for trying to buy the authority to act in Gods name (its not for sale)
Chapter 9:Peter Heals AEneous and raised Dorcus from the Dead
Chapter 10: Peter had a vision to preach the Gospel to the Gentiles.
Chapter 12: Peter is freed from prison yet again.
