Question 99: Who is the one to take the place of Philip? (Acts 8).
Who has authority to baptize others?
W. B.
Paul was an Apostle, “not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead” (Gal. 1:11Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;) (Galatians 1:1)).
Elders and deacons were appointed to these offices by apostolic authority.
All gifts come from Christ in glory.
W. H. W.
Answer: Matthew presents the Messiah, risen from the dead, to His earthly people, the remnant of Israel, beginning anew with Israel, therefore you get no ascension. but He sends out the disciples to the nations, and it ends by His saying, “Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world” (or age).
