Bible Note: Hello Raven You've certainly backed yourself into a corner this time. I acknowledge this was an interim time where God worked in stages, but there are truths in these passages that are concrete. Your argument from silence that the eunuch did not receive the Holy Spirit is preposterous. Eph 1:13-14 convinces me that he did. If the eunuch did not receive the Spirit, he died in his sins. Not much to rejoice over. The apostles never passed out gifts of their own discretion. Gifts are given by the Holy Spirit Himself (1 Cor 12). Simon tried to buy apostolic power. That was a gross error. It does not necessarily mean he had not received the Holy Spirit. Steve |
