Subject: who received the Holy Ghost @Pentacost? |
Bible Note: Emmaus and bajackson39, Two verses that lend to a more definitive answer are Acts 1:26 And they drew lots for them, and the lot fell to Matthias; and he was added to the eleven apostles. Acts 2:14 But Peter, taking his stand with the eleven, Why did God choose to single out only twelve (Matthias...added to the eleven, Peter...with the eleven)out of over 120? My understanding is that only the twelve were baptized with the Holy Spirit. The promise of Jesus sending another comforter or helper was made during the course of the last supper. At this time Jesus was accompanied only by his twelve disciples. I believe I can support this with scripture but not at this time. The claim that anyone other than the twelve apostles being baptized with the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost is a misconception. |
