How long was Christ on earth after his resurrection?
Only Luke's Gospel and Acts of the Apostles tell us how long Jesus was on earth after his resurrection:Luke 24:50-51 tells us that Jesus led the disciples out towards Bethany on the evening of his resurrection, and was taken bodily up into heaven. In this case, he was on earth less than one day after his resurrection. He commanded the disciples to remain in Jerusalem until they had received the power from on high.Acts 1:1-9, by the same author but written some time after Luke's Gospel, tells us that the risen Jesus was on earth for forty days and was seen by many. Jesus commanded the disciples to remain in Jerusalem until they had received the the power of the Holy Spirit, and was then taken bodily up into heaven.
Why were the apostles grouped together in a room after the death and resurrection of Jesus?
Jesus and the disciples returned to Jerusalem one last time together. There they may have met in the upper room where they had shared Passover and where Jesus had instituted the Lord's Supper. He told the disciples to wait until they had been clothed with power from on high, until the Holy Ghost came upon them--the gift Jesus promised just prior to His death.
How are the Pentecost in the great commission linked?
Pentecost was the event that empowered the disciples of Jesus to carry out the great commission. Luke 24:44-49 records Jesus' meeting with his disciples after his resurrection. Here he connected the things that had happened to him, namely his suffering, death, and resurrection, with the greater plan of "repentance and forgiveness of sins ... to be proclaimed in his name to all nations..." (v. 47) that was being given to the disciples. He added that the disciples would be "clothed with power" as promised by the Father in order to carry out their purpose. He told them to wait in the city until they had been "clothed with power from on high" (v. 49b) They would only be able to carry out the great commission by this power. As an analogy: if the disciples were robots programmed with the great commission, Pentecost was when God but their batteries in and gave them the power to do it!
Is it a must for a Christian to fast in order to have effective prayers?
yes,it is very important to fast because fasting is a spiritual energiser[isaiah40 VS 31].Even Jesus had to fast in order for him to have a effective prayer life.When the disciples were unable to cast the devil out of a man Jesus responded and said to his disciples 'this type goes not except by prayer and fasting'.because,;the effectual fervent prayer of the rightous maketh tremendious power available.Therefore,fasting is a provoker of power.and you need power in this wicked world. yes,it is very important to fast because fasting is a spiritual energiser[isaiah40 VS 31].Even Jesus had to fast in order for him to have a effective prayer life.When the disciples were unable to cast the devil out of a man Jesus responded and said to his disciples 'this type goes not except by prayer and fasting'.because,;the effectual fervent prayer of the rightous maketh tremendious power available.Therefore,fasting is a provoker of power.and you need power in this wicked world.
Do mormOns believe that Jesus Christ rose from the dead?
Yes. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the 'Mormon' church) believe in the account of Jesus as recorded in the King James Version of the Bible. They believe that Jesus was crucified and laid in a tomb, then rose from the dead on the third day, appeared to his disciples several times, and then ascended into heaven. This is essential to God's plan and meant that Jesus had the power over death and can therefore give mankind resurrection and eternal life. Mormons also believe that following Jesus' ascension, He appeared to those living on the American continent. This visit is the focal point of the Book of Mormon.

What gospel reference that tells how the Apostles were chosen?
Matthew 9:35- 10:4 shows who Jesus' twelve apostles were by name and it shows what commission was set out for these men. Jesus at this time was on a preaching campaign where he cured a woman and raised a little girl from the dead. His disciples were followers with him and witnesses of his power. The end of chapter 9 shows Jesus' desire for a broader teaching campaign, saying there Needed to be " more workers" or more disciples to preach Gods word. So it was after this that he appointed these 12 disciples to become apostles. These men were granted power to expel unclean spirits and power to cure sicknesses. In this way, witnesses of these acts could draw faith in Gods holy spirit and become believers the same way these 12 apostles became believers by witnessing Jesus' power to do such things, such power coming from God. Although men today do not perform such things, true followers of Jesus are granted Gods holy spirit to continue the preaching and teaching campaign that Jesus initiated.
