QUESTION: Some say that the one hundred and twenty disciples (Acts
1:15) were baptized in the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost. Is this true?
ANSWER: No! It is not true. Notice in the latter part of the first chapter of Acts
that the discussion involves the apostles, specifically about a replacement for
Judas Iscariot. In verse twenty-six we read, “and the lot fell upon Matthias; and
he was numbered with the eleven apostles.” In chapter two, verse one, Luke
says, “and when the day of Pentecost was fully come “they” were all in one
accord in one place; “they” were sitting in the house (vs.2) and cloven tongues
like as of fire sat upon each of “them.” Who are the “they” and the “them” in these
verses? These words refer directly to the eleven plus Matthias in the last verse of
Chapter one! Can we be sure? Yes! In chapter 1:2-8, to whom was the promise
of baptism Clearly, in these verses, commandment (vs.2, 5) and promise (vs.4, 5, 8) was
made to the apostles only! The same is true in John 14:16-17,26; John 15:26;
and John 16:7,13. In each instance, the Holy Ghost in baptismal measure was
promised only to the apostles! Note also, in verse fourteen, that after the baptism
of the Holy Ghost (chapter 2:1-4), Peter stood up with the eleven (not the
hundred and twenty) and preached. Those who put the hundred and twenty
disciples into the commandment, promise, baptism of the Holy Ghost, and
preaching in these chapters, do so without scriptural basis. They have wrested
God’s Word to support their own doctrines!in the Holy Ghost made? Was it to the hundred and twenty? No!
