Acts of the Apostles Seen from the Perspective of the Gospel of the Water and the Spirit

The Acts of the Apostles is not the process of the gospel advancing, but the word recording how the word of the gospel of salvation that Jesus Christ already accomplished was proclaimed through the mouths and faith of the apostles. From this perspective, the Acts of the Apostles testifies from beginning to end to what kind of gospel the apostles believed and preached. The starting point of the Act...
