Nathan, who did the preaching in Acts 8:4...apostles? Yes or No?
Note: before you answer, look back at verse 1
Thanks, Really

Not quite. They weren't together. Regardless, how could anyone preach the gospel except for itinerant ministers? Really

Nathan, please think about my question.
Acts 8:4 [married, non-itinerant believers] went every where preaching the word.
Do the workers let any of "the friends" preach the gospel? When is the last time you heard of a 2x2 elder going somewhere to preach the gospel? How about a 2x2 deacon going somewhere to preach the gospel with the elder?
Nathan, would that be allowed by the 2x2 chief shepherds?
Really

Nathan9. Hang in there! The question here is not the issue, it is merely a device. If you fully answered a question about some aspect of the foundation church, the questioner is not going to rush out and start following that example - more likely, he or she will simply find another question.

Nathan, I haven't seen any instant message. Sorry. You can write to me here though. "Accompanied" is not the same. The Bible record states that believers preached the gospel with no apostles present. Can you give me an example of this among the 2x2's? Here is another question; How many apostles did Saul meet before he began preaching Christ? Acts 9:17-22 Did the disciples have to request permission from the apostles before preaching? What is your opinion? Really

Not long enough. I continuously pray for my family as I see them suffer at the feet of the workers; unable to read scripture for themselves, but interpreting soley to bolster the group that supplies their only conceived hope of salvation.

Thanks Nathan. I'm sure you understand it is not their fault. They are products of what the workers have taught. They took it in hook, line, and sinker.

how many apostles did Saul meet or know? Well, I 'm thinking there were probably some among the people of God he had killed and/or arrested/persecuted.
