Why was the book of Acts of I.e., being fearless
evangelizers of truth, "to the
most distant parts of the
earth."
Imagine the weight of the
Great Commission given by
Jesus to preach the Gospel in
all the world, at a time when
believers were few.

To find God's visible organization in our day, we need to compare it to, not just the example of the 1st century apostles, but also the teachings that they believed and taught to others. Here are 7 identifying markers that can be used to find out who is following their examples today. (1) It truly exalts Jehovah as the only true God, magnifying his name.—Matt. 4:10; John 17:3. (2) It fully recognizes the vital role of Jesus Christ in Jehovah’s purpose—as the vindicator of Jehovah’s sovereignty, the Chief Agent of life, the head of the Christian congregation, the ruling Messianic King.—Rev. 19:11-13; 12:10; Acts 5:31; Eph. 1:22, 23. (3) It adheres closely to God’s inspired Word, basing all its teachings and standards of conduct on the Bible.—2 Tim. 3:16, 17. (4) It keeps separate from the world.—Jas. 1:27; 4:4. (5) It maintains a high level of moral cleanness among its members, because Jehovah himself is holy.—1 Pet. 1:15, 16; 1 Cor. 5:9-13. (6) It devotes its principal efforts to doing the work that the Bible foretold for our day, namely, the preaching of the good news of God’s Kingdom in all the world for a witness.—Matt. 24:14. (7) Despite human imperfections, its members cultivate and produce the fruits of God’s spirit—love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, self-control—doing so to such a degree that it sets them apart from the world in general.—Gal. 5:22, 23; John 13:35. If your religion does not follow the Bibles example in these areas, you must ask yourself, WHY NOT? Then take an unbiased look at Jehovah's Witnesses and see how they measure up the the Apostolic example today. |

They are both a group decision based on the belief that the Holy Spirit is guiding them... There really isn't a different when it comes to this because of their faith in God. |

is there any difference between the Holy Spirit and the Holy Ghost? Are they one and the same? If so why do we find both in the new testament?
