This was the catalyst of the whole thing. They turned the world upside down to where it's wide open now. Signs and wonders have never been at the level of Acts.
Signs and wonders have never been at the level in acts where?

What does that have to do with Acts being a historical book that records the acts and teachings of the NT church? Acts 15 helps us understand some of what Paul taught about the Gentiles and the law

And how normal was it in Acts? Acts is not THE history of the church. It's A history through the eyes of Luke, where he was at and what he experienced. Just how common were miracles in Acts? Someone today can write a book of the church in the last 100 years and include a lot of miracles and from that a neutral reading might conclude miracles are normative

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:


  1. There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
  2. The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
