IS PETER THE ROCK UPON WHICH THE CHURCH WAS BUILT? | ||||||
2 | IS PETER | Matt 16:18 | JMR | 716 | ||
Yes. In Matt 16:19, Peter was given the keys (the authority to open the doors to Christendom). He used this authority for Jews on the Day of the Pentecost and for Gentiles in the house of Cornelius (Acts 10). The church began on the day of the Pentecost (Acts 2). When Christ said, "I will build...", this shows that the formation of the church was still in the future. The word church appears in the Gospels only here and in Matt 18:17. | ||||||
