Holy Spirit -16- Were any but the apostles baptized in the Holy Spirit on Pentecost?
1. Were any but the apostles baptized in the Holy Spirit on Pentecost?
Answer: It seems that one should so understand from a careful reading, but it is possible that the "one hundred and twenty" of the chapter preceding the account in Acts 2:1-4 could be the antecedent of the pronoun "they" in Acts 2:1. It really makes not one particle of difference whether "the twelve" or "the hundred and twenty" were baptized, so far as any doctrine is concerned. It has only an "exegetical" interest, as all "the hundred and twenty" were Jews and they only were the receivers of this first case of Spirit-baptism.
