Question:
On what day did the Pentecost of Acts 2 fall, Sunday or Saturday?
Answer:
There is a great deal of difference of opinion regarding this. It seems to us that the preponderance of testimony is that it occurred on Sunday, but there are good scholars among Sunday keepers who contend for Saturday (the Sabbath). The day of the week on which the Pentecost occurred is in no sense a vital thing to the children of God, for if it had been, the Lord would have indicated the day of the week. Pentecost falling on Saturday or Sunday did place any sanctity on those days any more than when the Holy Spirit fell at other times in sacred history. The only day in all Scripture blessed and sanctified from the beginning was the seventh day, the Sabbath, commonly called Saturday.
