Acts - The Church on Fire Bible Study - Chapter 8 - Pt. 1

We meet Philip the Evangelist in this chapter and learn about his great work in Samaria.  We meet Simon the Sorcerer who receives the gospel, but then stumbles in sin.  In this chapter we discuss the much debated subject of the laying on of hands to receive the Holy Spirit.  Was this a requirement to receive the Holy Spirit or merely peculiar to the beginnings of the Church.  We also discuss the other debated subject in this chapter.  Did Simon really receive Christ or was it a front to try and further his fame and fortune?  Listen and decide for yourself as we study God's Word together.
