Pentecost

about others, and he is very out spoken. 2. In what actions does he engage? For example, teaching, preaching, healing, traveling, other activities. Peter cured a crippled beggar, he preached to many people in many different languages, he spoke at Pentecost, and he prayed with the community. 3. What are two key theological ideas (i.e. ideas about Jesus, and about living as a follower of Jesus) that he puts forward both in his formal speeches and in informal, one-on-one conversations? Peter…

Paul’s salvation occurred before his meeting with Ananias. Paul’s willingness to do whatever God wanted demonstrated this fact. (Acts 9:6) Whenever someone gets saved they want to please God. While Paul awaited further instructions, he prayed. (Acts 9:9-12) Prayer is a sign of salvation. He talked to God and God talked to him. God revealed this to Ananias. Although Paul was blind, he had never seen more clearly. He experienced God’s amazing grace. The song “Amazing Grace” beautifully expresses…

In 2 Timothy 3:16 Paul proclaims that “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness”. Paul focuses on different details of scripture and the importance of all of them. The priority of Scripture is an important aspect of Oklahoma Wesleyan University as it gives details on how, why, and what it means to live a Godly life. Much of modern day Christianity is migrating from “rigorous Bible study” (Williams 705) to waiting for Sundays to…

by a custodian called the Fisher King, who has suffered through wounds that cannot be healed. On the eve of the Pentecost, a beautiful lady arrived at Lancelot, asking him to go into the woods and Lancelot agreed. When he arrived in Camelot, he called for a meeting and said: “Four hundred and fifty years have passed since the passing of our Lord Jesus Christ: And on the day of Pentecost, this seat shall find its master.” Shortly after he said this, the image of the Holy Grail appeared floating…

mission must not be exclusively ethnocentric during the time before the restoration by directing them first to Jews, and then to Gentiles (v. 9). In other words, Jesus is not necessarily indicating, as Beale argues, that Jesus points to the day of Pentecost as the day of Israel’s restoration, especially considering v. 7. It is also not evident in the text that Jesus is correcting the disciples for assuming the kingdom would be only physical in their expression. Beale points to v. 8 to defend…

With all the various forms and flavors of false doctrine that exist in our current world, it is important to maintain familiarity with these different erroneous teachings. One teaching that has plagued the Lord’s church as of late is that of “Realized Eschatology”. This radical approach to interpreting Biblical prophecy has caused a number of Christians to stray from the faith. Members of the church should educate themselves in error like this so as to resist falling prey to it and be able…

For example, at King Arthur’s Pentecost, many knights are telling stories that they heard about Lancelot. Lancelot was very chivalrous when he admitted, “Truthfully, I don’t know. It sounds different when they tell about it. And most of them feel it necessary to add a little. When I remember…

“Sir, I will tell you. When I came home for my brother's sword, I found nobody at home to deliver me his sword; and so I thought my brother Sir Kay should not be swordless, and so I came hither eagerly and pulled it out of the stone without any pain.” “Found ye any knights about this sword?” said Sir Ector. “Nay,” said Arthur. “Now,” said Sir Ector to Arthur, “I understand ye must be king of this land.” “Wherefore I,” said Arthur, “and for what cause?” “Sir,” said Ector, “for God will have…

The culture of Italy is very interesting to me because both my mom and my dad have ancestry there. The towns are very small and most people know each other. They also have many festivals and hundreds of people crowd the streets and have a great time. They also are big on religion they are Roman Catholic they believe in one god. The nation of Italy has very nice landscape as an example Sicily has rugged mountains one of the biggest ones is Mount Etna it is very well known. Many houses are…

he seems to promise it to the whole crowd.” Some believers are specifically validated instead of the everyone. The confusion is cleared up by the explanation “‘Baptism of the Holy Spirit’ is an umbrella term that Luke uses to describe the two ‘Pentecost’ experience in Acts while Paul and John the Baptist used it more broadly for the universal experience of conversion.” Verses 6-7 The disciples ask a question about what they previously thought of when they thought of the idea of a savior, “a…
