Pentecost, What's That?
No, Pentecost is not a denomination. It is a
new birth experience. It is primitive
Christianity made relevant to today's world.
The people referred to as Pentecostal
simply believe, teach, and receive all that
transpired on that birthday of the
church...Pentecost, 33 A.D. There is a
church near you that embraces these basic
Christian truths and experiences. You owe
it to yourself to attend-and see what
Pentecost can really mean to you!
The day of Pentecost was observed in
Jerusalem fifty days after the celebration of
the Passover, which commemorated
Israel's deliverance out of Egypt. It is
significant that this day was chosen by the
Lord to begin the fulfillment of Joel 2:28: "I
will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh...."
The Spirit came upon the waiting, praying
disciples in an overwhelming manner.
Their complete commitment to Christ and
His commission evoked a mighty baptism
of God's power. This was evidenced
initially by their speaking in tongues (Acts
2:4). The Spirit was resident in their lives
from that moment. The Spirit-filled early
church witnessed many outstanding
miraculous happenings (Acts 3:1-7; 4:31).
They were able to lead victorious lives as a
result of their Pentecostal experience.
Two baptisms were disclosed on the day
of Pentecost. There was a baptism in the
Holy Spirit, and in the Apostle Peter's
message that followed, water baptism in
the name of Jesus Christ was
commanded (Acts 2:38). This outward,
physical baptism mysteriously merges with
that of the Spirit, and is the "one baptism"
of Ephesians 4:5. This is what Jesus
referred to as being "born again" in John
3:3-7. And how wonderful to be born into
the family of God-changed, transformed,
and made a "new creature in Christ Jesus".
