How long a period is embraced in the history of the New Testament church? Name four periods in the history, and the events with which each begins and ends. How long a time is embraced in the first period? By what name is the first period called? State in order the seven events in the first period. What was the number of Christ's followers in Jerusalem immediately after his Ascension? Where did they meet? What was their religious condition? What took place ten days after the Ascension of Christ? On what day did this outpouring occur? What were the physical effects of this outpouring? What were the mental effects? What were the spiritual effects? What testimony was given by the apostles and church? How many addresses of Peter at this time are mentioned? What miracles were wrought? How did these miracles benefit the church? What persecution arose? What was the nature of this persecution? Against whom was it directed? Did it harm the church? What is said of the growth of the church during this epoch? Who were "the seven"? How were they chosen? For what were they appointed? What two classes of Jesus are named? Define each class. PART TWO II. Having studied the history we now look at the =General Aspects of the Pentecostal Church=. 1. =Its locality=: entirely in Judea, and apparently in and around Jerusalem. There is no mention during this early period of churches in Galilee, although most of the earliest members were Galileans (Acts 1. 11; 2. 7). Individual believers doubtless were to be found throughout the land, but outside of Jerusalem they were not yet gathered together in assemblies and not yet endowed with the Spirit. 2. =Its membership= was composed wholly of Jews. As yet not a single Gentile had been received, and apparently there was no thought of Gentile believers. Christianity began as a Jewish society. Three classes of Jews were embraced in its membership: 1.) _Hebrews_, or Palestinian Jews. 2.) _Grecians_ or Hellenists, Jews of the Dispersion. 3.) _Proselytes_, or Gentiles who had embraced Judaism and received circumcision (Acts 6. 5). 3. =The qualifications for membership= were: 1.) _Repentance_, which meant not so much sorrow as decision for Christ. 2.) _Faith in Jesus_ as Christ; i. e., submission to Jesus as the true King of Israel. 3.) _Baptism_ in the name of Jesus the Christ as the outward form of consecration.
