Primitive Communism in Acts? Does Acts Present the Community of Goods (2:44-45; 4:32-35) as Mistaken?

  • Technical
  • Steve Walton

This article is a response to the view that Luke presents this practice as mistaken.

Does Acts 2-5 Teach Socialism?

  • Popular
  • Art Lindsley

The early believers did not sell all their property; their sharing was voluntary, and the texts of Acts 2, Acts 4 and Acts 5 are descriptive in nature. Therefore, to claim that these texts teach socialism is a fallacy. This article explains why.

Collectivism and/or Christianity: An Exegetical Study of Acts 2:42-47 and 4:32-5:11

  • Semi-Technical
  • Paul S. Jeon

Is Christianity against capitalism? After examining Acts 2:42-47 and Acts 4:32-5:11, this article shows that all giving in the early church was a voluntary and joyful response to the gospel and its powerful attestations through the apostles.

Acts 4:1-41, Acts 8:14-25, Acts 10:1-11:18 and Acts 19:1-17 have all been used to propagate the teaching that after regeneration one must still undergo an experience of baptism by the Holy Spirit. By examining the context of these texts, the author shows that such claims are false.
