- Defining The Issues:
- Luke Records Eye-Witnesses Being Present During The Time Of Saul's Conversion:
-If one accepts Acts as being reliable historical material, it should be noted that Jesus Christ commissioned Paul to preach the gospel to the gentiles. The men who had accompanied him were baffled at this encounter.
- Notice How Both The Apostles Paul And Barnabas Preached The Gospel:
-If Paul were a false apostle, it is certain that Barnabas would not have accompanied him in preaching the gospel to the Jews.
- The Apostles And Elders Embraced Paul As Authentic, Who Also Preached Against Christians Maintaining Mosaic Customs:
-The noteworthy feature of this text is that Peter and James recognized Paul to be an authoritative voice on the matter of whether gentiles needed to undergo circumcision. This could not be said of a false apostle.
- The Apostle Peter Believed Paul To Be A Beloved Brother Who Produced Inspired Scripture:
-Even if we rejected Petrine authorship of this epistle, it would still be outside affirmation of the authenticity of Paul's apostleship. Other men in the early church who accepted Paul would be Clement of Rome and Polycarp.
-The ordinance of the Lord's Supper (1 Corinthians 11:23-26)
-Jesus Christ died to make atonement for our sins (Romans 4:25; 1 Timothy 2:5-6)
-Jesus Christ died, was buried in a tomb, resurrected from the grave, and appeared to people (Romans 10:9-10; 1 Corinthians 15:1-6)
-Christ testified of Himself as being the promised Jewish Messiah before the Roman Governor Pontius Pilate (1 Timothy 6:13-16)
-Jesus Christ was crucified (1 Corinthians 2:1-2; Galatians 3:1)
-He ascended into heaven to be glorified (Philippians 2:6; 1 Timothy 3:16)
- The Apostle Paul Had Supernatural Abilities Like That Of The Other Apostles:
-Paul has credibility since he made reference to personal faults (2 Corinthians 12:7-9; 1 Timothy 1:12-16). He openly rebuked Peter for not living according to the gospel (Galatians 2:11-14).
- Examples Of Agreement Between Paul And The Four Gospel Writers:
-Jesus Christ is a man (Philippians 2:6; 1 Timothy 3:16)
-Christ is a descendant of King David (Romans 1:3-4; 2 Timothy 2:8)-The ordinance of the Lord's Supper (1 Corinthians 11:23-26)
-Jesus Christ died to make atonement for our sins (Romans 4:25; 1 Timothy 2:5-6)
-Jesus Christ died, was buried in a tomb, resurrected from the grave, and appeared to people (Romans 10:9-10; 1 Corinthians 15:1-6)
-Christ testified of Himself as being the promised Jewish Messiah before the Roman Governor Pontius Pilate (1 Timothy 6:13-16)
-Jesus Christ was crucified (1 Corinthians 2:1-2; Galatians 3:1)
-He ascended into heaven to be glorified (Philippians 2:6; 1 Timothy 3:16)
