Question 23 of 30

23. Question
Which of the following statements best reflects Dr. Bayer’s view of following the pattern in Acts of meeting in homes?
- There is nothing wrong with meeting in homes, but we should not understand this necessarily as normative for us today. This was the custom in Acts because of persecution.

Correct

Incorrect

24. Question
What argument does Dr. Bayer give to show that the account of sharing properties and resources in the early Church is not necessarily normative for us today?
