From Acts 2:42, we learn that the Lord's Supper had a prominent part in the worship of the early disciples. By comparing Acts 20:7 and 1Corinthians 16:1,2, we discover that the disciples met to partake of the Lord's Supper, and it was their custom to meet every Lord's Day. |

Christ commands the apostles to baptize (Matthew 28:19). All through the book of Acts it is shown that whenever men came to Christ they were baptized (Acts 2:38, Acts 8:12-38, Acts 10:48, Acts 16:15-33, Acts19:5). Read also: Galations 3:27, Romans 6:35, 1 Peter 3:21, and Colossians 2:12. On the day of Pentecost, Peter preached, "Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins" (Acts 2:38). Baptism is symbolic of the burial and resurrection of Christ (Romans 6:3-5, and a birth - "born of the water and the Spirit" (John 3:5). |
