Pentecost

Saint Peter Picture yourself at the head of Saint Peter’s cross. Everyone is jeering and screaming at him, not just his enemies. Saint Peter chose death on the cross over giving up his faith in Jesus. He was chosen by Jesus for his courage and strength. St. Peter is important in history because he was the first Apostle chosen by Jesus. He not only followed Jesus but was chosen by his Savior to be the first leader of the Church and to continue spreading the teachings of Jesus St. Peter was one…

to Christians in order to do His work on earth (Thompson 2001, pp 1135). The Holy Spirit is the actual giver of these gifts at the time a person makes a conscious decision to become saved and edify God. Jesus sent the Holy Spirit at the time of Pentecost with the sign gifts in order to confirm the works of the Apostles [(Sons 1973) (1Cor. 2:17)]. Also this was a way prove to the Jews that God and Christ were real, as well to lift up and edify the Church (Towns 2008, pp.271). There are many…

The Apostle’s Creed The Apostles Creed is the creed most widely used in Christian worship in the western world. Throughout the Middle Ages it was generally believed that this creed was composed by the Apostles on the day of Pentecost and that each of them contributed one of the twelve sections. This appears to be a legend dating back to somewhere between the 4th and 6th Centuries. However it still has good reason to be called the Apostles Creed because its content is in agreement with apostolic…

The Person of the Holy Spirit is entrenched inside of the whole extent of Scripture. He is initially specified in Genesis 1:2 and shows up oftentimes all through the Old Testament. He is no less unmistakable in the New Testament, yet there is maybe not any more essential photo of the degree of His temperament and work than the one communicated in the Gospel of John. This paper will analyze both the Person and the work of the Holy Spirit as it is expounded in John’s Gospel. This paper will…

did not yet indwell every believer (John 14:17; Acts 1:4). The indwelling of the Holy Spirit in Old Testament times was temporary. The Holy Spirit came on some believers to enable them for special tasks. Under the New Covenant after the Day of Pentecost the Holy Spirit permanently indwells every believer. So, the Holy Spirit symbolizes here God’s greatest possible gift for the disciples who first heard this teaching.…

Leviticus 23 lists all of the Old Testament prescribed celebrations together. In this portion of Scripture Moses defines the timing and requirements that God imparted to him. Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, Festival of Weeks (Pentecost), Feast of Trumpets, The Day of Atonement, and finally The Feast of Tabernacles make up these required holy observances. These occasions look back to memorize past events and forward symbolically. Of these, Jesus uses the Feast of…

Introduction Eschatology is a term that Christians use in reference to the study of last things. There are a lot of theories regarding the things to come throughout the history of the Church from the Early Church Fathers, through the Rise of Amillennialism, the Reformation Views, the Puritans, Jonathan Edwards, and the Modern Millennial Views. This paper is not a historical study, and not a defense of a particular eschatological view. However, this paper explores the history of eschatology…

The book of Acts begins with the outpouring of God's promised Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost. As a result, the preaching of the gospel and the witness of the newly formed church sparks a flame that spreads across the Roman Empire. The opening of Acts discloses a primary theme throughout the book. As believers are empowered by the Holy Spirit they bear witness to the message of salvation in Jesus Christ. This is how the church is established and continues to grow, spreading locally and then…

The Day of Pentecost explains the very act of helpfulness (Act 2:44-47, NASB). The Scripture records “Those who had believed were together and had all things in common; and they began selling their property and possessions and were sharing them with all, as anyone might…
