Hey Pastor John.
Leanne, Danielle and I started our study of Paul this evening. We’re discovering we have questions as we go along and thought we would write you and get all of our questions to you. We just started reading and it’s already feeling exciting!
Our first question is, how old was Paul when he received the Holy Ghost and started preaching?
Thanks,
Michelle

Hi Michelle.
I am happy to hear you ladies are doing this Bible study. It is worth doing. There are many spiritual benefits in it.
As for your question, the Bible never gives a specific age for Paul, or for any other apostle, for that matter. In a letter to Timothy, Paul calls himself “aged”, and in Acts7, where you have been reading, Paul is said to be a young man. That’s all we are ever told about Paul’s age.
However, since the story of Paul’s baptism with the holy Ghost comes soon after Acts 7, I assume that he was still a young man. That is the best answer that I, or anyone, can give you on that.
Again, let me encourage you to continue learning about Paul. What a great man of God he was!
Pastor John
