Proper Authority & Ministering to the People

Acts 19 & 20

5 Priesthood ordinances that Paul performed
          * Healing the sick
          * Baptism
          * Laying on of hands for the girt of the Holy Ghost
          * The Sacrament
          * Miracles

---What did Paul do for the Corinthian saints because it hadn't been done right the first time?
                   * He baptized them the correct way. They had been baptized but never received the gift of the Holy Ghost. 

---How does this help answer the question many nonmembers have about the need of being baptized when they have already been baptized?
                   * When a person is baptized they are done so in the ordinances of that particular church. We are baptized in the name of Christ in our church and so new members need to baptized with the proper authority by someone who is worthy. 

---In what way did Paul bestow the gift of the Holy Ghost?
                   *Just as Christ did with his apostles and disciples, the laying on of hands with the proper Preisthood power.

---On what day of the week did the saints meet to break the bread? What evidence  is there in John 20:1, 19 for why the Sabbath day was changed?
                   *The first day of the week which is Sunday. It is the day that Christ was resurrected and we remember Him on that day.
