On the Day of Pentecost in the Book of Acts, What denomination?

Question

In the Book of Acts, in the Bible. What was the denomination of the people when the Church (followers of Jesus) was born on the day of Pentecost?

Answer 1

Denominations did not exist on the Day of Pentecost. They were together in one mind and one accord. This is the one thing that Denominations does not allow is the one mind and one accord. We as a Christian people need this, things would be turned around, you would see a changed world in just a little while. The 120 in the upper chamber was waiting on the promise of the Lord. We need to wait on those promises, and come together. A mighty wind for the Lord would move across this land with His Word. As long as the separation stays, Satan has no worries.

Answer 2

The day of Pentecost was observed in Jerusalem fifty days after the celebration of the Passover, which commemorated Israel's deliverance out of Egypt. It is significant that this day was chosen by the Lord to begin the fulfillment of Joel 2:28: "I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh...."

The Spirit came upon the waiting, praying disciples in an overwhelming manner. Their complete commitment to Christ and His commission evoked a mighty baptism of God's power. This was evidenced initially by their speaking in tongues (Acts 2:4). The Spirit was resident in their lives from that moment. The Spirit-filled early church witnessed many outstanding miraculous happenings (Acts 3:1-7; 4:31). They were able to lead victorious lives as a result of their Pentecostal experience.

Two baptisms were disclosed on the day of Pentecost. There was a baptism in the Holy Spirit, and in the Apostle Peter's message that followed, water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ was commanded (Acts 2:38). This outward, physical baptism mysteriously merges with that of the Spirit, and is the "one baptism" of Ephesians 4:5. This is what Jesus referred to as being "born again" in John 3:3-7. And how wonderful to be born into the family of God-changed, transformed, and made a "new creature in Christ Jesus".

No, Pentecost is not a denomination. It is a new birth experience. It is primitive Christianity made relevant to today's world. The people referred to as Pentecostal simply believe, teach, and receive all that transpired on that birthday of the church...Pentecost, 33 A.D. There is a church near you that embraces these basic Christian truths and experiences. You owe it to yourself to attend-and see what Pentecost can really mean to you!

Answer 3

As Jesus walked around, he said, " follow me", he did not choose any religion existing.
He taught people the word of God, even those unlearned, Acts 4:13; they learned a great deal from Jesus in 3 years, so at Matt.28:18-20; the orders are to teach. Who knows who the Father, the Son or The Holy Ghost/Spirit is if not taught who, what and how.

Answer 4

There was no Denomination at all. They were not even initially called Christians but, "Followers of the Way" (the "Way" being Jesus) as recorded in the Book of Acts.

The word Christian was used first used at Antioch and even then was the secular term regarding the, followers of the Way.

Answer 5

they were just followers of Christ. no actual "church" each disciples job (so to speak) was to tell of Jesus and his works and teachings. so on this feast day, so many people came from far and wide, and spoke so many different languages that there was a sound from heaven like a mighty wind. the disciples were filled with the holy spirit, and were able to speak all the languages that were spoken at this feast to relay the teachings of Jesus. religion did not play a part in this day, this was a day of teaching, and learning and being filled with the holy spirit.

Answer 6

Sunday is the Lord's Day Isaiah one million:thirteen - God starts to disclose His displeasure with the Sabbath. Matt. 28:one million; Mark sixteen:two,nine; John 20:one million,19- the Gospel writers purposely screen Jesus' resurrection and appearances have been on Sunday. This is since Sunday had now turn out to be the primary day within the lifetime of the Church. Acts 20:7 - this article suggests the apostolic culture of collecting in combination to have a good time the Eucharist on Sunday, the "first day of the week." Luke files the precept worship used to be on Sunday since this used to be one of the most departures from the Jewish style of worship. one million Cor. sixteen:two - Paul instructs the Corinthians to make a contribution to the church buildings "at the first day of the week," that's Sunday. This is since the principal day of Christian worship is Sunday. Col. two:sixteen-17 - Paul teaches that the Sabbath used to be just a shadow of what used to be fulfilled in Christ, and says "allow no person move judgment to any extent further over a Sabbath." two Thess. two:15 - we're to preserve quick to apostolic culture, if it is oral or written. The two,000 yr-ancient culture of the Church is that the apostles transformed the Sabbath day of worship from Saturday to Sunday. Heb. four:eight-nine - concerning the day of relaxation, if Joshua had given relaxation, God might now not later talk of "one other day," that's Sunday, the brand new Sabbath. Sunday is the primary day of the week and the primary day of the brand new production brought on via our Lord's resurrection, which used to be on Sunday. Heb. 7:12 - whilst there's a difference within the priesthood, there's a difference within the regulation as good. Because we have now a brand new Priest and a brand new sacrifice, we even have a new day of worship, that's Sunday. Rev one million:10 - John specially features out that he witnesses the heavenly Eucharistic liturgy on Sunday, the Lord's day, the brand new day of relaxation in Christ. Matt. sixteen:19; 18:18 - something the Church binds on this planet is certain in heaven. Since the resurrection, Mass has been peculiarly celebrated on Sunday.

Answer 7

At that time, they were Jews who believed on the Christ.

The idea of Christians (Christ=annointed and ian=of or belonging to) did not come about until after Pentecost.

Answer 8

They were called people of "THE WAY"( this can be found capitalized in old bibles for this reason) until Antioch and the the people condemned them with the name Christians meaning followers of Christ instead of followers of God. It was meant to be mean but it stuck!

They were Christian. The official name of the church didn't come into being until around the third or fourth century: The Roman Univeral Church (english version), or the one known today - The Roman Catholic Church (latin version).

Answer 10
