QUESTION: Can one be qualified to be an apostle today?
ANSWER: No! To be qualified to be an apostle, one must be an eyewitness of the resurrected Christ (Acts 1:22) as were the twelve (Acts 1:21) and the apostle Paul (Acts 26:13-18). None living today have seen the resurrected Christ! Therefore, none today can be qualified to be an apostle! We can be sure that those who claim apostleship today do not represent the church of the New Testament!

QUESTION: What is baptism of the Holy Spirit and the baptism of fire as expressed in Matthew 3:11?
ANSWER: Baptism of the Holy Spirit has been explained above. The baptism of fire is explained quite clearly in Matthew 3:12. In the King James version of the Bible, the eleventh verse ends in this way, “and with fire:” Notice that the many scholarly English translators involved placed a colon ( : ) after the word “fire.” In English grammar, that which follows a colon is an explanation of that which appears before the colon. Therefore, verse twelve explains the phrase, “and with fire.” That verse twelve (as well as the preceding verse, ten) has reference to the unquenchable fire of hell can not successfully be denied! Also proven by verse twelve is the fact that the word “you” does not refer to everyone, but, rather, is used in the sense that there are those among “you” who will be baptized with the Holy Ghost, and with fire. Obviously, not all people would be cast into hell (immersed in fire)! Similarly, not all people would be immersed in the Holy Spirit. To apply Matthew 3:11-12 to all people, would force the conclusion that none will be saved.

CHRIST'S TEACHING ABOUT BENEFICENCE
"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,.., and thy neighbour as thyself.... But he said, And who is my neighbour?"-- Luk_10:27-29.
WE CANNOT live alone. No one of us can be entirely independent of others.
When we talk about neighbours, we naturally think of those who live next door, and we are apt to reduce the divine command to those who reside in the same street. If these are very comfortable and well-to-do, it seems as though there is not much scope for helping them. This definition of neighbours, however, is altogether too narrow and contracted, as our Lord shows in the parable of the Good Samaritan. The lawyer asked who was his neighbour, and Jesus said, "Be a neighbour to someone else.'" And if it be asked what kind of people I am to neighbour, the answer comes: "Make no distinction of race or creed; but wherever you come across a man who has been stripped, beaten, robbed, and is half-dead, don't wait for other men to succour him. but bind up his wounds; minister to him, and treat him as though you loved him with the natural love of brotherhood."

QUESTION: Do you believe that the Holy Spirit is of no use today?
ANSWER: The Holy Spirit is God and has revealed Himself to us through the written Word. To believe that the Holy Spirit is of no use would be to reject the very gospel by which we are saved. However, our understanding of the Holy Spirit cannot be based upon the feelings, doctrines and traditions of men! We must believe and accept the Holy Spirit according to the gospel He has given! To do otherwise, would be to deny Him in disbelief!

QUESTION: Were not the people in Acts 19:1-7 baptized in the Holy Spirit?
ANSWER: No! They received the “gifts” of speaking in foreign languages and prophecy through the laying on of Paul’s hands (vs.6).
