In an age of innovation, entertainment and social retooling the Church is to stand aloof as to its core activities. Established on the person of Jesus Christ through faith in the gospel and by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, the Church is then called to be a light and witness to the world. However, the activities of the Church are clearly delineated in the Scripture. And one of the simplest and clearest examples of this is in Acts 2.

It is a critical shifting of thought for the purpose of gathering in the Gentiles in Christ.
