In the Bible, the book of Acts featured the birth of the New Testament Church. In Chapter two, the Holy Spirit was poured out in an upper room, to about 120 believers who were gathered together. This group of believers was first called the church in verse 47 of the same chapter:
Acts 2:47 - "And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved."
The growth rate was outstanding - in that same day, after Peter preached, over 3000 souls were added to the church!
Acts 2:41 - "And the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls"
The Temple of Pentecost is an exciting, Book of Acts church in the heart of Raleigh. It's our desire to pattern ourselves after the Biblical principles found in the Word of
God — after all, the disciples were the first to be called Christians, in Acts 11:26.
Use the links to the right to read about those Biblical principles, and how we apply them at the Temple of Pentecost. |
