Q

Why did the new church need to choose 7 men to be deacons?

A

At the church, the apostles were working too much, and they couldn’t preach to widows and follow God’s path for them at the same time. The church therefore hired seven men to be deacons.

Q

Why did the angel tell Cornelius to send for Peter rather than directly telling him how to be saved?

A

God has ordained that the Gospel be spread through human believers, not through angels.

preached a sermon to those who killed him

23
Q

On Paul’s 3rd missionary journey, in what city did he stay for 3 years?

A

Ephesus

24
Q

Explain the importance of the Jerusalem Council

A

The Jerusalem Council was a debate over the practice of circumcision and whether is was vital to being a Christian.

25
Q

What 2 people had a vision regarding Gentiles becoming Christians?

A

Peter, Cornelius

26
Q

If Cornelius would have died the day before Peter came to him, what would have been his eternal destiny? Give evidence for your answer.

A

Hell. He had not been baptized.

27
Q

True or False. Saul was a Gentile.

A

false

28
Q

Why did James say that Gentiles should lead moral lives, not eat meat offered to idols, and not eat the blood of an animal?

A

eliminating barriers in order to help Jewish and Gentile Christian believers find a way to get along. It was a compromise, because he was not asking the Gentile believers to be circumcised (the Jewish believers wanted them to) but he was asking them to take some simple steps toward unity by giving up some practices the Jews found offensive, which were “stumbling blocks” to them.

29
Q

Describe Cornelius before Peter came to visit him?

A

Cornelius was an excellent Christian who feared God, prayed, and gave to the poor.

30
Q

Compare Peter from the time he denied knowing Jesus at Jesus’ trial to the Peter who went to Cornelius.

A

Peter was a challenger who often acted before he thought, but when he visited Cornelius he was very wise and submissive toward God’s plan.

31
Q

What event is often referred to as the Gentile Pentecost?

A

Cornelius’ conversion

32
Q

Who is Ananias in Acts 9? Discuss his obedience to God.

A

Ananias had doubt for God’s plan for Saul, but he eventually obeyed God. I think his emotions of fear are in most of us, and the doubt that His plan is the right plan.

33
Q

What is the difference between the Old Testament Gentile believers (Ruth, Rahab. . .) and the Gentile believers (Cornelius) in Acts?

A

in the OT (Ruth, Rahab, etc) they adopted Judaism and in the NT they didn’t- they became Christians.

false

A

Philip

38
Q

In what city was Saul born?

A

Tarsus

39
Q

Describe Peter’s vision and the importance of it.

A

Peter’s vision was of a blanket full of unclean animals in the sky, and God telling him to kill and eat them. This is referring to the Gentiles being converted to Christianity. Even though Peter might think of them as unclean, they aren’t and need the Holy Spirit as well.
