1 | who received the Holy Ghost @Pentacost? | Acts 2:4 | bajackson39 | 65190 | ||
Were the apostles the only one who received the Holy Ghost on Pentecost or others. Acts 2:17 And in the last days, said God, I, will pour out of my sprit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughtrs shall prophesy and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams., and | ||||||
2 | who received the Holy Ghost @Pentacost? | Acts 2:4 | Emmaus | 65191 | ||
bajackson39, Acts 1:13-14 indicates who were staying together in the upper room, waiting for the Holy Spirit to come as Jesus had commanded.Acts 2:1-4 says they were all present and all were filled with the Holy Spirit. This would include the apostles, dicisples, Mary and the other women present. Emmaus |

Emmaus and bajackson39, Two verses that lend to a more definitive answer are Acts 1:26 And they drew lots for them, and the lot fell to Matthias; and he was added to the eleven apostles. Acts 2:14 But Peter, taking his stand with the eleven, Why did God choose to single out only twelve (Matthias...added to the eleven, Peter...with the eleven)out of over 120? My understanding is that only the twelve were baptized with the Holy Spirit. The promise of Jesus sending another comforter or helper was made during the course of the last supper. At this time Jesus was accompanied only by his twelve disciples. I believe I can support this with scripture but not at this time. The claim that anyone other than the twelve apostles being baptized with the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost is a misconception. |

4 | who received the Holy Ghost @Pentacost? | Acts 2:4 | Emmaus | 65238 | ||
FTimA, I thought it was clear from Acts 1 , who was living in the upper room and Acts 2 says "all" were gathered and "all" were filled with the Holy Spirit. Where does it say only the apostles received the Holy Spirit? Now who preached afterward is another story. There it would seem only the apostles preached with Peter as the chief spokeman.

5 | who received the Holy Ghost @Pentacost? | Acts 2:4 | FTimA | 65250 | ||
Acts 1:1-5 is very explicit, at least in the NASB version, Acts 1:1 The first account I composed, Theophilus, about all that Jesus began to do and teach, 2 until the day when He was taken up to heaven, after He had by the Holy Spirit given orders to the apostles whom He had chosen. 3 To these He also presented Himself alive after His suffering, by many convincing proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days and speaking of the things concerning the kingdom of God. 4 Gathering them together, He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father had promised, "Which," He said, "you heard of from Me; 5 for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now." Verse 2 clearly states "given orders to the apostles whom He had chosen" How many apostles were there? Twelve. What were the orders? He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father had promised. What did the Father promise? "you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now." This is very brief but it does prove scripturally that it was only the twelve. |
