Do we REALLY want to be "Apostolic"? We use the book of Acts to prove baptism in Jesus name. We use the book of Acts to prove the Holy Spirit baptism with tongues.
When it comes to this.......the silence of unbelief.
42And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
43And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. 44And all that believed were together, and
had all things common; 45And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
Acts 2:42-45
Who wants an Apostolic book of Acts Church?
32And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own;
but they had all things common. 33And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. 34Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, 35And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.
Acts 4:32-35
I remember in 1982 preaching this over the pupit at the Apostolic Gospel Church in Springfield Ohio. As soon as I finished the message the Pastor came right behind me and said, "and having all things common is done by paying your tithes".
Oh friends the reason we dont have book of Acts power is because we refuse to follow the example of the apostles of Yeshua.
True early on the message of baptism in Jesus name and the Spirit baptism had a great anointing with it. But when YHWH calls his people to full obedience and they refuse it would seem his anointing begins to wane.
Is this not the plight of the modern day Apostolic movement?
Anyone want to see a move among the Churches to have all things common?
