just gonna post the screen shot so you can see without a doubt this came from the Mendenhall Reference Bible and isn't something I just made up :-).
This picture also does a good job explaining the difference(s) that exist between this form of government from a Heavenly Kingdom perspective vs a worldly one.
B) Confined to Christians
Acts 4:32
The Believers Share Their Possessions
All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had.
C) Not under Government control
Acts 4:34-37
that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need.
Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas (which means “son of encouragement”), sold a field he owned and brought the money and put it at the apostles’ feet.
And no communism wasn't the definition I read from my dictionary the other night :-).
Ill let yall figure it out on your own :-).
I love you honey :-).
