Acts 2:44 - Additional Comments

They did not all meet together, for it was impractical, but they were as one, so any believer could attend any fellowship and feel completely welcome and part of it. They probably met together in several congregations, according as their languages, nations, or other associations.
And, since they were together more often, their love for each other increased because of time spent together.
Having all things in common and selling their possessions (vs 45) did not mean that individuals did not have possessions. When there was a need, possessions would be sold to meet the need. If someone had need of something another had ('need', not 'want'), it was available.
