A. 5 Things Paul performed with the proper priesthood authority:

a. Baptism

b. Conferring the Gift of the Holy Ghost

c. Administered the Sacrament

d. Performed blessings to the sick

e. Brought back life into somebody

1. What did Paul do for the Corinthians saints because it hand’t been done right the first time?
1. The baptisms and the conferring of the gift of the Holy Ghost.
2. How does this help answer the question many nonmembers have about the need of being baptized when they have already been baptized.
1. This actually helps a lot. Nonmembers need to be baptized by someone holding the proper authority in order for the ordinance to do it’s thing. Just like a Cop can give you a ticket for speeding, and not the Ice Cream man. God has a house of order and things are done a certain way. Take this example as an example.
3. In what way did Paul bestow the gift of the Holy Ghost?
1. Acts 19:6 “And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.” Just the same way we do now. Paul holds the priesthood, and laid his hands on the people of Corinth and conferred the gift of 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 day was changed?
1. The saints gathered for the sacrament on the FIRST DAY of the week, SUNDAY. Christ was crucified on a Friday, and rose on the 3rd day after that (including Friday) and that was Sunday. We partake of the Sacrament to help us remember this glorious event.
