Subject: why is Acts 2:44 not practiced today |
Bible Note: Hi Tim, I totally agree that we are not under a command. I'm not sure a command can produce the oneness like we see in Acts 2 and that unity did not last long. Maybe only a change of heart can produce a family. (Act 5:4 KJVA) Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. The disciples were not forced together. They wanted to be together. Who amoung us today would be ashamed to keep back part of anything? God Bless You, Thomas |
