Was Barnabas led by the Holy Spirit when he went looking for Saul?
Yes, Barnabas was led sovereignly by the Holy Spirit when he went to Cilicia and Tarsus to look for Saul. He had a purpose, found Saul, and brought him back to Antioch, where Gentile Christianity began to flourish.
Les teaches that as soon as the church at Antioch began to show signs of Gentile interest, Barnabas, led sovereignly again by the Holy Spirit, went up to Cilicia, into the area of Tarsus, to look for Saul. The Scripture says he looked for him, meaning he had a purpose, and when he found him, he succeeded. He brought Saul back to Antioch, and that is where Gentile Christianity begins to flower. It was at Antioch that the believers were first called Christians, not the Jewish believers at Jerusalem.
