Subject: why is Acts 2:44 not practiced today |
Bible Note: Greetings Thomas8! There is a very simple reason why Acts 2:44 is practiced by churches today. It is not a command, so the church is under no obligation to follow this practice. People in the early church did lots of things, but unless we are commanded to do likewise, we are under no obligation to do something simply because they did it. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
