Bible Question (short): John 20:22 does it represent salvation |
Question (full): 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? |
