Why Stephen was stoned to death...
So: it is of utmost importance to know and to realize what it was that had been rejected by the Jews and now can be the Gospel for all non-Jews as well! Please read with me what Stephen could see.

Acts 7:55-58 - Stephen saw the Son of Man at the right hand of GOD 'But he, full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God; and he said, "Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God." But they cried out with a loud voice and stopped their ears and rushed together upon him. Then they cast him out of the city and stoned him'.

Stephen saw Jesus at the right hand of GOD...
But also in our present time almost all churches and their member cannot bear to be told the same words of Stephen, because they believe in 'the trinity-god' and work together - by means of treaties and organisations - with the creator of this 'trinity-godhead' that was made up by babylonian example: the Roman Catholic church...
All churchmembers that accept the trinity-godhead as a consequence:
Stephen saw Jesus standing at the right side of his Father and his GOD [John 20:17]... and the Jews didnot want to hear this testimony at all nor did they want Stephen to tell them about the existence of the Son of the only GOD.
The Roman-catholic church and its founders didnot create their occult trinity-godhead by accident; when people accept their created occult godhead they adopt a pagan god as their god ánd (in that way) they also refuse the Gospel of GOD: GOD sent us Jesus so we can be saved...

Jesus: the High Priest of GOD Hebrews 5:5 'So also Christ did not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed by him who said to him, "Thou art my Son, today I have begotten thee'. Hebrews 8:1 'Now the point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven'. Jesus: the Mediator between GOD and us 1 Timothy 2:5 'For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus'.

All those that have accepted the trinity-godhead-doctrine are in fact living in denial of the Gospel. GOD sent us Jesus, so GOD didnot go himself!
And what is ever more sad: the churches and their members refuse the Saviour of GOD with a pagan god that originated from Babylon; the trinity-sungod also known as satan... History repeats itself!
Cry of distress to all: turn away from the trinity-godhead !!
GOD asks from all His Children to accept the Son HE has sent us (by means of the baptism with faith) so they can join GOD (by means of the Spirit of GOD after the laying on of hands after baptism). Coming to Jesus is done with the baptism; connecting to GOD is done afterwards by the laying on of hands. Only those that believe in 1 GOD ánd 1 Lord before that only GOD can be saved in that way.
All those that do not believe that GOD sent us His Son -in believing in a 'trinity-god'- cannot be saved...

One GOD ánd one Lord 1 Cor. 8:6 'yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we unto him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we through him.'. Biblical foundations: baptism followed by the laying on of hands Hebrews 6:1-3 'Wherefore leaving the doctrine of the first principles of Christ, let us press on unto perfection; not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, of the teaching of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. And this will we do, if God permit'. GOD calls His Children out of Babylon Rev. 14:8 - Pagan babylonian doctrines have been accepted by all nations 'Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, that hath made all the nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.'. Rev. 18:4-5 - GOD calls His Children out of Babylon 'Then I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues; for her sins are heaped high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities'.

GOD asks everyone to leave an occult based life in order to personally embrace His Saviour (baptism) and to come to HIM (laying on of hands) so HE can give through His Spirit the Spiritual Gifts; also very personal gifts to use personally in service of GOD for others. Only in that way there will be Fruit of the Spirit!
The following links tell- and teach about a biblical foundation, how you can start with that foundation and how to go and grow further from there:
Reading-, learning- and accepting a biblical foundation in your life
A true Christians will have a biblical foundation and will also be growing from that foundation; even be equipped by that foundation with the Spiritual Gifts. Only with that foundation and according to Gods Commandments and Gods Wil a Christian can savely grow in the Fruit of the Spirit of GOD. Only in that way a Christian will receive eternal life Christ tells us in Matthew 25.
