   I feel bad for the person at church this morning with the "Capitalism For All" bumper sticker who had to sit there through Acts 4:32-35

   "The community of believers was of one heart and mind, and no one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they had everything in common."

     @ntnsndr Sure, but everybody in that building actually their lives in essentially the same way materially right? In my experience, the communal lifestyle of the early church is rather far removed from the experience of most believers, whether they announce their politico-economic preferences on their car bumper or not. Practically, what difference does it make, when everyone lives the same individualistic, materialistic lives? Are not all equally falling short of the example set in Acts 4?
