Commentary on Acts 8:14
The apostles in Jerusalem heard of Samaria's reception of God's word and sent Peter and John to investigate and confirm. This demonstrates apostolic oversight and the unity of the early church. The Samaritan mission was too important to proceed without apostolic validation, given the historic Jewish-Samaritan divide. Reformed theology sees the importance of church order and oversight - new works should be examined and confirmed by established leadership. The apostles' involvement ensured the Samaritan church began on sound doctrinal foundation.
