"And in the Acts of the Apostles, Christ gives the keys of the kingdom to Peter!"

Please give the scriptural referance in the book of Acts where Christ gives the keys to the kingdom to Peter. In case you are having a hard time finding it, try looking in Matt 16. But don't stop there. Go on to Matt 18 and see where Jesus gives the same authority to the rest of the apostles.

Are you thinking my statement regarding the keys is supported or undermined by the passages you reference?



(BTW: nice personal note on your About page!)

[Tenn, actually it wasn't PetroniusMaximus who gave the Acts of the Apostles reference for Peter and the "keys"; he was just quoting "Salvation"- see reply #38]

Yes, and in Matt. 28 Christ commanded the twelve to go to all the nations, make disciples, and "teach them to observe all things that I commanded you." I have the same responsibilities that Peter had, according to "the great commission."

Or so it seems to me. What do you think?
