These two chapters go over Paul's time with the Corinthians. In these two chapters Paul uses the power of the priesthood for five different things: baptism, bestowing the Holy Ghost, Healing/casting out evil spirits, blessing & passing the sacrament, and raising a young man from the dead. The importance of these two chapters is the priesthood being exercise in the proper way with the proper authority.
What did Paul do for the Corinthian saints because it hadn't been done right the first time?
Paul baptizes the Corinthians in the name of Jesus Christ after the manner of Jon the Baptist. He also bestows upon them the gift of the Holy Ghost since they didn't not receive that earlier. They needed to be baptized in the proper way.
How does this answer the question many nonmembers have about the need of being baptized when they have already been baptized?
Baptism needs to be done in the correct ay through the Priesthood and in the name of Jesus Christ. If it isn't done in the correct way then the baptism in a sense is not valid and it is as though it truly didn't happen. In order for the baptism to be standing and valid it need to be done in the correct way in the proper name in the proper authority.
In what way does Paul bestow the gift of the Holy Ghost?
By the laying on of hands with the power of the priesthood.
On what day of the week did the Saints meet to break bread? What evidence is there in John 20:1,19 for why the sabbath day was changed.
The saints met on the first day of the week to break bread and partake of the sacrament. It was changed to the day that Christ had risen from the tom and showed himself unto Mary Magdalen and the twelve apostles. I think the reason it changed is the signfigance that Christ conquered on and death by sacrificing His body and blood, what the sacrament symbolizes.
