Tom,

Acts 2:39 says, "For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call." Peter proclaims that salvation through God's Messiah is promised to the Jews, to their children, and to all those who are far off (i.e., the Gentiles, Eph. 2:11-13). Here again is the message of Acts - the gospel is for Jews and Gentiles. Even though only those present may have received baptism that day the promise extended to their children and beyond.
