If 3000 were added to the church, how is it that the church started that day?

Question

How you add to something that was not already there? If the church did not begin untill after pentecost does not that make the Gospel teachings void?

Answer 1

People look at the same thing - or rather one peers into it and the other glances over it.

There are so many cases of this, especially in respect to the Bible.

What you said shows that you actually read it, whereas others show that they have not really read it.

Answer 2

If memory serves me correctlyfor now on htepoint; church means the called out. Abraham was called out from his relatives earlyon; and the Israelites were called out of Egypt after threir bondage there. The real 'church' started long before Pentecost; the 3000 were just added toit.

Answer 3

I believe you are confusing something physical with something spiritual which is what was started on the day of Pentecost. Jesus' Church. By the way this was only about 10 percent of the population in the city at the time.

Answer 4

The Holy Spirit’s Presence
Acts 2:1-4
During the time of Moses, God established a festival to celebrate the grain harvest. The first day of the feast became known as the Day of Pentecost (Leviticus 23:15-21). After Jesus ascended to heaven, God revealed a new spiritual meaning for Pentecost. On that day the promised Holy Spirit arrived, and the church of Jesus Christ was born!
While the disciples and others had been Jesus’ followers before this, there had been no “body of Christ” to which they could belong. On Pentecost all that changed. God’s Spirit baptized believers into the Lord Jesus, making them one with Him (1 Corinthians 12:13-14). Now they had a brand-new relationship with the Lord: from that point on, the Holy Spirit lived Christ’s life through them, and they abided in Jesus through His Spirit.
What a difference the Spirit’s indwelling presence made in their lives. No longer were they fearful men who ran away; nor were they people looking out for their own interests. Now they were transformed into a cohesive group who “were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. And all those who had believed were together and had all things in common” (Acts 2:42, 44).
Our own personal “day of Pentecost” occurs at salvation, when we are indwelt by the Holy Spirit and baptized into the worldwide body of Christ. The Spirit’s presence is permanently given to everyone who believes, for He is the guarantee of our salvation.

Answer 5

3000 were added to the disciples who had met in the upper room and then went out and told the news - Acts 1-2

Answer 6

The church began at the crucifixion, was in training for forty days more, was in prayerful waiting and preparation for another ten days, and was officially born and ready for action on Pentecost.

Answer 7

I'm going to start a club today. I'm calling it "The Whatever Club". 5 people join me that first day. Therefore, 6 people were added to "The Whatever Club" that day.

Sheesh, it's not rocket science. Let's use some common sense...

Answer 8

3000 would be a good start for a church, no?

Answer 9

3000 what? People? Started what day? Your question makes little sense.
