Acts 19-20 ~ Proper Authority and Ministering to the People

1. What did Paul do for the Corinthian saints because it hadn't been done right the first time?
The people had not heard of the Holy Ghost, and claimed they had been baptized under John the Baptist. Paul told them they needed to come unto Christ and believe in Him, and be blessed with the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands.

2. How does this help answer the question many nonmembers have about the need of being baptized when they have already been baptized?
Many people do not fully understand the concept of baptism and how it is a continual process with partaking of the sacrament and pleading to Heavenly Father for forgiveness.

3. In what way did Paul bestow the gift of the Holy Ghost?
Paul first shared with the people what the Holy Ghost was and how everyone needs it individually, and how it is the greatest gift we can have on this earth. He then was able to baptize the disciples through the Holy Ghost.

4. On what day of the week did the saints meet to break bread? What evidence is there in John 20:1, 19 for why the Sabbath changed?
The scriptures says the saints broke bread on the "the first day of the week." In John 20:1, it says it was early in the morning. The day of the Sabbath was changed to remember the atonement of the Savior and that he rose on the first day.
