Q: Acts 4:32-37 communal living — why don't churches do this? Context: Jews from around the world came to Jerusalem for Pentecost, got saved, and didn't want to leave. They sold possessions to pool resources and learn from the apostles. This was a unique situation, not a policy — it doesn't appear in Ephesus, Corinth, or Antioch.

This was (1) voluntary, not government-mandated, (2) specific to Jerusalem at that moment, (3) not repeated in other NT churches. It was a great idea for that situation but not a universal command.
