The desire to restore first-century practice is central; this map therefore asks whether the restoration includes not only order, baptism and communion but also the Spirit's life and gifts in Acts.
The return to a New Testament pattern, believer's immersion, weekly communion and local church life are biblical elements of the image and are printed strongly. The issue in this profile is not an added layer: cessationist practice stops GOLD, so a correct form remains without the life and gifts seen in Acts.
The reading compares observable congregational life with the apostolic church in Acts. A stated doctrine alone does not raise an ink when the corresponding practice is not visible.These are the tradition's own historic confessions, as its members would recognise them. Every tradition varies internally.
The movement seeks to recover the church of Acts but leaves out of the restoration the gifts and signs that fill Acts. The form of the first century is there; its power is held to have ceased.
Acts 2:43 · 5:12 · 19:11–12The ban on instruments rests on the New Testament not mentioning them. The Jerusalem council, by contrast, laid on believers nothing beyond what was necessary.
Acts 15:28 · Colossians 3:16The strict wing of the movement counts as saved only those baptised among them. At Cornelius' house the Spirit falls before baptism, and Peter concludes that God has already accepted these people.
Acts 10:44–48 · 11:17100% is the reference density. Below 100% the ink weakens; above 100% it begins to cover the others. This is more precise than an abstract 1–5 scale.
