It is the same Jesus Christ and the same Holy Spirit guiding the church today. It is the same zeal. It is the same God who will not forget the sacrifices we may make. The book of Acts shows us that various members were instrumental in spreading the gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ. Some of the people mentioned in this article may have been ordained ministers, but others were probably not.
All members can help spread the gospel.
Lay members, as led by the Holy Spirit, continue to be a vital part of Christ's commission to the disciples.
