2

Saul ‘was consenting to’ Stephen’s death. He makes havock of the Church haling men and women to prison and scattering them. Acts VIII 1 to 4.

All the evidence of Paul’s Apostleship is this Acts IX. 15 in the story of Ananias’s vision But the Lord said unto him (in a vision) Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles and Kings and the children of Israel. For I must shew him how great things he must suffer for my sake

Then IX. v. 17 Ananias visiting him says Brother Saul the Lord (even Jesus that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest) hath sent me that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. Then receiving his sight he was baptized v. 18. If this makes an Apostle, then all who received the Holy Ghost i.e. all who were baptized were Apostles.

8

Acts XXII. 1 to 21

Paul’s account to at Jerusalem — of his life and conversion.

According to this account the Lord Jesus himself gave him no commission of Apostleship only bid him go to Damascus ‘and there it shall be told you (v. 10) of all things which are appointed for thee to do.
