Bible Note: Hello miller, Allow me to make one final observation now that I have had a bit more time to have thought through your argument. I think your "distinction is one of great importance", is a false one! With no disrespect, you have invented something that doesn't(necessarily) exist; You assume those that are the group in Acts 4:31 are the same that Peter preached to in Acts 2? I think this is also false! I do not believe scripture (clearly) supports this. Notice 4:23, ".. they went to their own ('friends'- ESV, YLT). If they were they same group of believers as in Acts 2, why does verse 4:31 read, "...they were all filled with the Holy Spirit..."? It doesn't say, they were filled again, or a second time, etc. No such distinction exists! There is simply no indication that these believers were "retreads" filled a second time.
