Without the Holy Spirit which is Jesus' strength power passion and Love for the lost evangelism is at an all time low of 1% of Christians that obey the Great Commission.We could lose our country by default.We are in a battlegroung and not a playground.

Chapter 1.Jesus Christ shared himself as the New body that all shall have as believers, the work of the personage of the Holy Ghost is manifested and revealed in the appearance of the last Office spoken of in the Scriptures clearly and plainly. The entire chapter expressed that Jesus is Fully God and he was Fully the Son of (man)God himself. Giving plain instructions from his Father to the Disciples along with the Women, by the working power of the Holy Ghost to go and wait in Jerusalem, that they would see him with their eyes and hear with their ears this same power and that they would be witnesses of him. And that he would be with us always, for he was the LORD JESUS CHRIST (born of a virgin, hung, beaten and crucified, died and arose on the ) Third Day... Taken up to Glory in the presences of them all and His Two Angels declaring all that was written of Him as the Son of the Living God,The Christ his Messiah..

Fred,
Matthew 27:3-5 clearly states that Judas hanged himself. But here in Acts 1:18 there seems to be a contradiction. However, when you read both accounts more completely, you will realize they do not contradict each other at all. Matthew states Judas hanged himself and the book of Acts isn’t suggesting that he didn’t. When Luke (the author of Acts) states that Judas fell headlong and burst asunder in the midst, he isn’t stating that’s how Judas died. The consensus among Bible scholars was that Judas split open after falling from the tree or post that he hanged himself from. Perhaps the tree was near a precipice or after he had hanged himself his rotting body eventually fell and burst open where it landed. The Lord only knows. I believe because it was common knowledge that Judas had hanged himself, Luke didn’t feel the need to mention it here in Acts 1:18. Instead he placed emphasis on how his body had burst asunder in this particular field because he was trying to show how this act had fulfilled scripture from the Psalms, not how Judas had died. (See Psalm 69:25, Psalm 109:8) and ( Zechariah 11:12-13)

Ithought judas hanged himself

@Rosalina (great discussions!!}
Ithink you are forgetting about the "laying on of hands"needed for authority to preach?
Deut 34:9, "And Joshua, the son of Nun was full of the Spirit of Wisdom; for Moses had LAID HIS HANDS UPON HIM: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and he did as the Lord commanded Moses."
Acts 6:6, "These they set before the apostles, and after they had prayed they LAID THEIR HANDS UPON THEM".
Acts 9:17, "...and LAYING HIS HANDS UPON HIM, he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord has sent me"
Acts 8:17, "Then they LAID THEIR HANDS ON THEM and they received the Holy Spirit."
Acts 13:3, "Then having fasted and prayed and LAID THEIR HANDS UPON THEM, they let them go."
2Tim 1:6, "For this reason I admonish thee to stir up the grace of GOD which is in thee, BY THE LAYING ON OF MY HANDS."
1Ti,m 4:14 "Do not neglect the grace that is in thee, granted to thee by reason of prophecy with the LAYING ON OF HANDS of the presbyterate." [PRIESTS]
Acts 1:20 For it is written in the book of Psalms: Let their habitation become desolate, and let there be none to dwell therein. And his bishopric let another take.
This same rite was practiced in the early Church and continues to this day, The Bishop, by the 'LAYING ON OF HANDS', conveys a succession of Priests and Bishops with a commission, giving them the authority to perpetuate the Church which Jesus Christ founded. Apostalic Succession & only one Church can lay claim to it. The Catholic Church

Yes, I believe they were asking of earthly things and Jesus was speaking of heavenly things.

My respond to A.B.C. RICHARD SON's Acts Chapter 1 comment about verse 2 on 9/06/2013, 10:24pm: The called to perform or achieve for the Almighty were the twelve apostles whom Our Lord Jesus Christ had first chosen. Since one of them fell by transgression and that was Judas, the eleven asked God to show them who among Joseph and Matthias would He choose to do the ministry with them. After the eleven apostles gave forth their lots, the lot fell upon Matthias. Therefore it was Matthias whom God has numbered with the eleven apostles.

WHAT ARE CALLEDTOPERFORM OR ACHIEVE FOR THE ALMIGHTY?CHRIST,UNTILHEHAD PERFECTEDHIS MISSION FOR HIS CHURCH THROUGH THE PEOPLE OF FORE KNOWN ACTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT DID NOT LEAVE THEM- THE CHURCH. SAME TO RETURN FOR THE HARVEST OF THE SAINTS FROM CREATION TO DATE. BE PREPARED. ACTS 1:2AS ACCOUNTED.

Inconclusive about the women in the upper room on the day of Pentecost. Other than the mother of Jesus who were the other women?

Our Lord Jesus wouldn't disclose it,because it a matter of salvation. Apostle paul told us to work out our salvation with fear and trembling. So therefore we should be ready and prepare.

and his faith amen

praying for peace ..and God favor for task at work
pray for God grace and help heal after the loo of my mom, my son the oldest one need help back on tract peace love and happiness.

it is easy to find out

What strikes me is Verse;14 'These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication,'
The missing condition, all too often in modern meetings.

The apostles used democracy to choose Mathias to replace Judas. God is not a democrat. All the prepositions in the definition of democracy (of,by & for the people) lack GOD. Nothing was recorded of Mathias, God later chose sb on the way to Damascus. Paul. God's foolishness is wiser than men & His weakness is stronger than men.

Is is written that as many as are led by the Spirit of God they are sons of God. Judas Iscariotes even being one of the twelve, he did not love the Lord Jesus Christ, he was a thief and he did not repent for that; on the contrary he rebuked Mary for pouring the precious oilment on Jesus feet, pretending he was concerned with the poor people, but he wanted it to be sold so as he had the bag money he could steal it. Judas from the beginning become greedy and his covetousness opened the door of his soul to Satan's schemes. He finally took Satan's agenda when he found a way to profit cooperating with jewish religious authorities to set him up and arrest him without turmoil.After Jesus' ressurrection the twelve had to choose anothe disciple to replace Judas and the scripture is clear to affirm that Judas lost himself and went to hell ( Acts 1:25).

Isaiah 9:6 tells us who Jesus really is. He is the Son, Father and God. Jesus is the name you should be baptized in.( Acts 2:38,19:5,10:48,8:37-38)( 2 Cor 3:1) Out of the mouths of two or three shall the word of God be established. Many times did the scriptures say Jesus name baptism but only once did it sayin the name of Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost( Matthew 28:19) If you put them all together you get the name and that is Jesus. ( Luke 24:47) tells where and what name should remissions of sins and repentence should be preached. Matt, Mark, Luke and John are the books that tell of Jesus's birth, life ,death and resurrection and the resurrection begins in the book of acts and is the beginning of the Church. Jesus gave Peter the authority to speak on the day of pentecost in St John(21:15-17)( Acts 1:2) as well as the first chapter of Acts, whom Jesus chose the apostles.
People try to say well who told the apostles to go and baptize in Matthew 28:19? Jesus of course, I agree but who stopped Saul/Paul on the way to Damascus? The same Jesus? YES! Paul baptized in what way and name? Jesus.( Acts 19:5) No other name( Acts 4:12) as well as One Lord, One Faith and one Baptism ( eph 4:5) People will jump over the book of Acts because of what ever reason. Acts opens up the name. If you don't believe me see what is done in Jesus name in the book of Acts. Do a study but before you do it pray to Jesus and ask for wisdom.

Jesus Bless

Maybe a coincidence

John 3,16
Talks about whosoever believes in him

Acts 3,16
Talks about his name through faith in his name

The two 3,16s maybe a coincidence

If you remember John 3,16 also remember Acts 3,16 it explains how it works, and that is by faith in his name

In the name of Jesus does NOT mean in the "family" of Jesus,

In Acts 3,16 Peter the Apostle clearly states that, his name (what is his name? Jesus) through faith in his name,

He also states that it was the crippled mans own individual faith by which he was healed,

Not by Peter's power or holiness or of those with him, Acts 3,12

Read John 3,16
Read Acts 11, 17-18
Peter the Apostle admitted,
Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.

Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?

We do not have to be baptized with water to receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost, We need to believe, We do not have to have an "Apostle" to administer the baptism of the Holy Ghost, We need to believe,

Read Acts 3,12-16
Peter himself (the Apostle) admitted that it was not through his own power or holiness that made the man walk,
and admitted,
And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
We need to believe,

The Holy Ghost is a free choice I'm glad I can have that choice even though I am young but God has Norespect of person, wheather you're young or old ..., this is the beginning of salvation.....,

it's the beginning of the appostal work as Jesus Christ went up in Heaven. He lift The Holy Spirit with them to do might work in the name of Jesus throuth The Holy Spirit.

beginning of knowing about God

You can receive the holy spirit after baptism without consulting any Apostle. According to the book of Acts, salvation is for all. How can you know that this Apostle is from God; so people should be careful with how they struggle for the holy spirit. We should seek God first, and His kingdom. The disciples prayed and received the holy spirit; so you can fast and pray and then you will be filled with the holy spirit.

Without the holy spirit you are not a vessel in Christ, so pray without season for it and you shall receive Power to lead you. Stay blessed.

@Saleem,
We have two kinds of baptism:
1. Baptism of water (which is the first after people have received the word);
2. Baptism of the holy spirit. I want say it clear that all believers must be baptized of water and of holy spirit. If you are only baptized of water (that is not enough) read Acts 1:5, Acts 19:1-6, and Acts 2. Some people think by praying for themselves they can be baptized of the holy ghost, NO . One needs to be laid hands on the head by the apostles, then will he/she be baptized. As same applies when one person is baptized of water, no one goes to the river by himself and deep himself in water, then comes out and say I am baptized, no. But one needs an authorized person/pastor to deep him/her in water and get baptized. Also in baptism of the holy ghost, only the apostles today can baptize people of the holy spirit. AND MANY PEOPLE TODAY ARE BAPTIZED OF WATER, I Thank God for the baptism of the holy spirit offered to him by his apostles and I pray that all people could be baptized.
