Choice 1 Acts 19-20. Proper Authority and Ministering to the People

The five priesthood ordinances that Paul performed were:
1) Baptism
2) Gift of the Holy
3) Sacrament
4) Raising the dead
5) Blessing the sick and casting out evil spirits
1. Paul baptized them and gave them the gift of the Holy Ghost because these ordinances had not been performed correctly before.
2. Concerning nonmembers who may have been baptized as infants, if you are not baptized according to the correct power, authority, and in the correct way, then it is not a correct ordinance and God does not recognize it as being correct.
3. Paul bestowed the gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands.
4. The saints met on the first day of the week to break bread. According to John 20:1, this is because Jesus was resurrected on the first day of the week. The sacrament represents the completion of his sacrifice, and so this is why it is also done on the first day of the week. This is very interesting to me--I had never looked into why we partook of the sacrament on Sunday, the first day of the week. How cool!
