A look at the spirit of Pentecost
The Spirit of Pentecost was given to humanity by Christ Jesus after completing His functional salvation message, as a comforter, the second step of the gift of the Father is taken. He appeared as cleft tongues of fire that ignited in the heads of those in the upper room, who waited expectantly to receive what Christ Jesus would reveal to them from God the Father.
The first representatives of humanity, Adam and Eve, were tempted to abandon God (Spirit) in the Garden, hiding in fear (the result of abandoning God (Spirit), choosing to live only by knowledge, without God (Spirit) Be like God Adam and Eve, along with all others born of flesh, in all human endeavor, could not obtain the full value of knowledge without the Spirit (God).
At Pentecost, people on the street understood the new message of the Kingdom of the Spirit necessary to increase knowledge and faith. 3000 souls believed what was heard in their own language (tongue) becoming the first new converts. Returning home with the new message encouraged the first missionaries. His own hometown people starting new congregations in the newly understood languages. The gift of other tongues had the effect of awakening knowledge in the Spirit of God’s Love. God’s Love is completed in other people.
God so loved humanity that He gives spiritual life without condemnation or judgment. God’s Love is a compassionate Spirit that always reaches out with determination with longing. While we were still sinners, He is drawing near, not passionately, but with the Compassionate desire to return people to their rightful position of dominion over the earth. The knowledge of which humanity, without the Spirit, is aware, is the knowledge of the comforting passion of the flesh. Compassion is the determined unsympathetic Spirit Comfort, the overwhelming desire to return humanity to its original Spiritual Image.
The second wave of new converts, 5,000, were the Jews in Jerusalem. After the filling of the Spirit of God, the disciples left the upper room and went to Jerusalem. There they formed committees to meet the needs of the residents, estimated at 20,000, in the city at that time. People heard the new language, a language of Compassion that was understood from both their physical and spiritual needs. About 25% of the people in Jerusalem at that time believed.
It is no wonder that the coming of the Spirit of God to humanity is fundamentally responsible for God having such a great start, 8,000 converts. All understanding the message of the Kingdom of the Spirit, Compassionate Love. The message is not new, but since the fall from grace, it has been used to glorify the ego of humanity. The churches wonder why they have become involved with the religion of self and the spirit of self.
With the coming of the Spirit who dwells at Pentecost, a New Language, the language of Compassionate Love, dwelt in humanity. Compassionate love responds to people in need in the newly received and understood language of compassion. Humanity has not opted for the loving language of joy and peace, but for the passionate happy / sad bipolar language.
The graceful attitudes of joy and peace, announced at the birth of Jesus, are the basis for describing the love of God.
