Bible Question: befor i was allowed to join the baptist church, first the members voted if they wanted me, I was shown by the pastor at the time something about .. After Judas hung himself the 11 appostles voted a new apostle to join them.... can you explain in everyday words why it was necessary for me to be voted in, and how it relates to the act of voting after judas comitted suside and then tell me where to look in the bible to find the scripture |
Bible Answer: Act 1:23 And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also called Justus, and Matthias. Act 1:24 And they prayed and said, "You, Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which one of these two you have chosen Act 1:25 to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place." Act 1:26 And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles. (ESV) I believe this is a denominational trait and not a Biblical principal. Brad |
