Your Personal PentecostActs 1-2Session 2
A post-charismatic charismatic movement?Slide2
“
Clothed
with
power
from on high”
(Luke 24:49).
In a few days you will be
baptized
with the Holy Spirit…
But you will receive
power
when the Holy Spirit
comes on
you
(Acts 1:3-8).
All of them were
filled
with the Holy Spirit
and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them (2:1-4).Slide3
The phenomena of Pentecost
Wind and fire
Speaking in tongues
Declaring the wonders of God (2:11)
“They have had too much wine” (2:13)
The Spirit of
prophecy:Slide4
“In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters
will prophesy,
your young men will
see visions,
your old men will dream dreams. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy” (2:17-18).
Reminiscent of Old Testament prophets and judgesSlide5
Are the disciples being converted here?
Are they being born again?
Are they being called and commissioned?
Or, are they being empowered to fulfil an already established calling and commission?
Therefore, is there “subsequence”, a two-stage experience? Is this the model for all Christians?
When do Christians “receive” the Holy Spirit, at conversion, or later?Slide6
Overcoming doctrinal paralysis
Pentecostals versus Conservative Evangelicals
The solution: The kingdom of God lens Slide7
And if anyone does not
have the Spirit of Christ,
they do not belong to Christ… (Romans 8:9-11).
For we were
all baptized by one Spirit
so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—
and we were all given the one Spirit to drink
(1 Corinthians 12:12-14).
What evangelicals say
No “gospel plus” – No “higher-class” ChristiansSlide8
Jesus (birth and baptism),
The disciples (Resurrection and Pentecost),
Converts in Acts (Samaritans, Paul, Ephesians).
We need the born-again
experience
,
and
the baptism in the Holy Spirit as power for witnessing.

Many relations with the Holy SpiritSlide12
Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” And with that
he breathed on them
and said,
“Receive the Holy Spirit.
If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven” (John 20:21-23).Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us
new birth
into a living hope
through the resurrection
of Jesus Christ from the dead (1 Peter 1:3).
Communicating the resurrectionSlide13
God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of it.
Exalted to the right hand of God,
he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and
has poured out
what you now see and hear. For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said,“The Lord said to my Lord: ‘Sit at my right hand until I make your
enemies a footstool
for your feet.’”
Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both
Lord and Messiah
(Acts 2:32-36).
Communicating the ascensionSlide14
There is therefore a
Paschal
as distinct from a
Pentecostal
gift of the Holy Spirit, the one preparatory to the other. Alfred Plummer, New International Commentary
, cited by Howard Ervin
, These are not drunken as ye suppose
(Logos 1968).
There is more than being born again
Many works of the Spirit and many fillings
No “subsequence” doctrine, but “both/and”Slide15
At conversion, or later, or repeatedly.
Like Old Testament prophetic phenomena, more external — “what you see and hear.”
Speaking in tongues is frequent, but not always.
Often the gateway to the charismatic gifts (healing, miracles, revelatory gifts).Slide16
The call – the invitation
Jesus said, “wait for it.” He did not imagine the church trying to serve him without it.
The early disciples “
all joined together constantly in prayer” as they waited for it (Acts 1:14).
It is released through the laying on of hands.
