    Acts 7:54-60 (NASB)
    Stephen Put to Death
    54 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the quick, and they began gnashing their teeth at him. 55 But being full of the Holy Spirit, he gazed intently into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God; 56 and he said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened up and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.” 57 But they cried out with a loud voice, and covered their ears and rushed at him with one impulse. 58 When they had driven him out of the city, they began stoning him; and the witnesses laid aside their robes at the feet of a young man named Saul.


    Here is a vision that only Saint Stephen the first christian martyr saw no one else seemed to have noticed Jesus above them certainly not Saul who would become the Apostle Paul he did not notice he gets another visitation that changes his life, So this was a personal vision and being a vision did Stephen truly see the glory of God and was that really Jesus?

    By the way what does the Watchtower teach regarding the dead where does the spirit return to, or more precisely whom does the spirit return to surat, is it Jehovah God, surat?

    New World Translation a publication of the Watchtower Soceity

    Ecclesiastes 12:7
    7 Then the dust returns to the earth,+ just as it was, and the spirit* returns to the true God who gave it.



    looks like Stephen is returning his spirit to none other than Lord Jesus surat who must be the true God.

    ACTS 7
    59 They went on stoning Stephen as he called on the Lord and said, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!” 60 Then falling on his knees, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them!” Having said this, he [a]fell asleep.

    Scripture destroys the man made false traditions surat.
