Seems to be a weak argument about chapter two being a different train of thought than chapter 1 since the chapter breaks were added at the discretion of the translators. If you can get past "seeing" chapter 2 in you bible and just read, there would be the natural assumption that 120 people were in the upper room. My hope and prayer is that you are as passionate in winning souls as you are at calling preachers liars. There are already enough vultures in the media. It's a shame to see Christians take the same path as the world. Yours for souls!

Brother Bob, I appreciate your candid response. I cannot help but notice the actual text of chapter two says, "When the day of Pentecost was fully come..." indicating a distinct separation and day from the events of chapter one. And I cannot help but wonder how the 120 people turned into 3,000 that were baptized that day. Not only were there 3,000 baptized that day, but there were those who did NOT receive his word gladly that day. (Acts 2:41) Did these 3,000 or more people also fit into the upper room?

I assure you I am passionate about winning souls, but this article is addressing a teaching proported as truth (taught to established believers) that turns out to be a lie according to what the Bible actually says. I am not calling any preacher a liar, but addressing WHAT the preacher is telling us, especially if what he is telling us might be a lie. My true intention is to exhort and edify the congregation to NOT sit there like guppies and lemmings swallowing every wind and wave that spews forth. We should read the Bible, research, discern, question and learn the whole story in its context.
