Pentecost is the day we celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit for empowerment in gospel service and the formation of the Church! We, as Pentecostals, still believe in Spirit baptism - that it is a second work of the Spirit that follows salvation. Spirit baptism does not make us saved, or more saved, it equips believers for the task of bringing the gospel to bear in our world. Jesus promised the gift of the Holy Spirit. He promised that the Spirit would be our helper. He helps us to live holy lives, he helps us to be ready to one day meet our Father, and he helps us bring about the Kingdom of God in this world!
