Bible Question: When did apostles become part of the church |
Bible Answer: Hi, oddball! There are no specifics as far as a written plan or an organized written agenda... In Matthew 16:13-20 Jesus touches upon the issues of the Church: who do you think I am--God; on you I will build my Church; the keys of Heaven--but the world is not yet ready! The seal on the contract (if we look at it in human terms) is: Acts 2:1-12--the Apostles were gathered the Holy Spirit came upon them (with visible signs both before the immersion and after the filling grace) to demonstrate that these were sent by Christ and that they had His authority! God Bless! Angel |
