In the Acts of the Apostles, all the following were the characteristics of communal living in the Early Church except

In the Acts of the Apostles, communal living in the Early Church was characterized by sharing of goods, praying together, breaking of bread, and having fellowship together. However, hiding from Jewish arrest was not a characteristic of communal living in the Early Church. While the early Christians faced persecution and opposition from the Jewish authorities, they did not hide from them but continued to proclaim the message of Jesus Christ boldly. The book of Acts describes the early Christians as a close-knit community that cared for one another, shared their resources, and worshiped together. This communal living was an expression of their love for God and for one another and served as a witness to the transforming power of the Gospel.
