Be sure to read the whole story there. Ananias and Sapphira come shortly after that part and you'll soon get to the verse saying "those who do not work shall not eat."
They did indeed live communally for a while, but it didn't work out very well and it didn't last.

- tesmar2 6y agoOk not sure I’d say it didn’t work out well. The important thing to emphasize is that they were voluntarily showing their love toward each other by selling goods to help take care of needs within the community. It sets a fine example that many strive for today within the church.
- Natsu 6y agoI'm mostly going with that because of the whole "it didn't last" part. It did seem to help them get through some tough times when the world had basically turned against them.
