Subject: is it ok to pray publically? |
Bible Note: Hi! So when the disciples gathered and prayed (all together, not in individual closets) they were wrong?: Acts 12:12; 1:14; 2:42; 3:1; 6:4; 12:5; 16:13, 16... And when speaking about praying constantly, that meant that most disciples spent their whole days praying in their closets? (Ephesians 6:18) ...and when Jesus stated that where two or three would gather He would be in their midst, He meant "but only if you do everything but pray?" (Matthew 18:20) Even today, worshippers gather and celebrate the affluent and the "super spiritual;" at times almost rejecting the "run-of-the-mill" people; then, there are the ones who seek recognition for their "Christian" achievements/generosity ... these are truly the actitudes that Christ rejects!
