Bible Question:
In certain Pentacostal groups...this verse relates to salvation for the disciples...then in Acts 2:4 it relates to a second definite work of grace...my question is that the Holy Spirit had not come...Jesus had not been exalted...was Jesus breathing on them old testament or new testament? Thomas was not present,and in Acts 1;6 the disciples were still looking for an earthly kingdom for Israel...what is the evangelical position on this verse? |
Bible Answer: John 17:1 Jesus spoke these words and lifted up His eyes to Heaven and said, Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son so that Your Son also may glorify You The “hour” Jesus was glorified was when he arose. retxar |
