Precious friends, I have noticed so much confusion about trying to develop doctrine for today from
the Book Of Acts. God's Doctrine Was From His Teachings In Matthew - John, Correct? And early Acts
was simply the twelve beginning "to carry out their marching orders," eh?

God Makes Quite A Few Changes During His Transition Period. For example:

(1) a) water baptism before receiving The Holy Spirit Acts 2:28
[ Note Paul Was Saved By Grace Acts 9, so, God Is Now 'Interrupting' Peter carrying out
"his marching orders" = Change of Dispensation, * Correct ? ], and then:​
b) water baptism after receiving The Holy Spirit Acts 10:47-48, and, later, Another Change:

c) receiving The Holy Spirit after the "laying on of hands" Acts 19:6​
(2) a) Healings by the twelve Acts 3:11, 4:14, 5:16, 8:7

b) Also by Paul [ in the beginning of his ministry ] Act 14:9, 28:8-9, but:​
c) [ with Dispensation Of Grace 'in Full Swing' ], with God "setting aside 'fallen Israel' in​
blindness, (Romans 11:7), and Paul ( with What God Committed To him * found in​
Romans Though Philemon, going Only to the Gentiles (Acts 28:28 cp Galatians 2:9)​
[ at the ending of his ministry ]:​
he "no longer had the gift of healing" (2 Timothy 4:20; 1 Timothy 5:23), Correct?​
3) Conclusion: How does one get Sound Doctrine from the Changing scenarios in
the transitional book of Acts?​

Amen.

*
"For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, A​
Dispensation of The Gospel Is Committed Unto me." (1 Corinthians 9:17)​

"If ye have heard of The Dispensation Of The Grace Of God​
Which is given me to you-ward" (Ephesians 3:2)​

"Whereof I am made a minister, according to The Dispensation Of God​
Which Is Given to me for you, To Fulfil [ Complete ] The Word Of God"​
(Colossians 1:25)​

Conclusion2:

Should we not obey God, and follow the One He Gave to teach us Sound Doctrines Of Grace?
(1 Corinthians 4:16; 1 Corinthians 11:1; Ephesians 5:1; Philippians 3:17):

"But speak thou the things which become Sound Doctrine" (Titus 2:1)​

And, Again, Amen.

God has always been the same, remember, Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. The Gospel is everlasting; it means that with God there is no variableness or shadow of turning.

Unless we can admit to ourselves that our ideas, our understanding of God is changeable we will continue to create and imagine God is changeable like us.

As long as we sin, we will get ourselves into trouble.

Sin will always get us into trouble, I believe. Is God going to look the other way if you murder someone?
