And some were persuaded by the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.

1. Not all will be converted. Some believed. Some were convinced and persuaded by the powerful use of Old Testament Scriptures.

2. Some did not. Nothing new here.

3. NOTE : Jesus did not command us to baptize everyone we teach. We are to teach all men. Then the burden shifts to them to believe and obey. Listen to Mark 16:15-16 - And he said to them, Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. WE must go to all the world. WE must preach the gospel. THEY must believe. THEY must be baptized.
