Yeah I follow the opinion of the Acts of the Apostles as found in the Bible on this one. The question is what opinion are you following when you call the Biblical practice of having "all things in common" socailist?

Here is where it started...
 
 Acts 2:44-47
 44.  All the believers were together and had everything in common.
 45.  Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need.
 46.  Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts,
 47.  praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
 
Here are the problems it created...
 
 1 Timothy 5:8
   If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
 
...people were taking advantage of the 'system'.
 
 
 
Read the whole chapter.
