The 'Two' Pentecost

The 'Two' Pentecost

The Promise of the Father was fulfilled and given on the Day of Pentecost (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4; 2:1-4) as promised by Jesus. 

This is also known as the baptism of the Holy Spirit, which is the fulfillment of prophet Joel's prophecy (Acts 2:16-21; Joel 2:28-32).

During the first and only Pentecost, the Holy Spirit 𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧 upon all the Jews and the proselytes aka Jewish converts (Acts 2:11). No Gentiles had received the Promise of the Father yet.

And suddenly 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧 a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. - Acts 2:2

During the 'second' Pentecost, the Holy Spirit 𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧 upon the Gentiles, completing the prophecy by Joel (Acts 11:17; Joel 2:28-32).

While Peter was still saying these things, the Holy Spirit 𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝. - Acts 10:44

As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit 𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐮𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠. - Acts 11:15

The Holy Spirit only 𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧 upon people on these two incidents: first for the Jews, then the Gentiles.

Apart from that, nowhere in the book of Acts and throughout the entire New Testament talks about the outpouring (fell upon, fell from heaven) of the Holy Spirit anymore.

The Holy Spirit, however, was only given through 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 by both apostles and ordinary believers (Acts 8:17; 9:17; 19:6).

Why is this important? The earth today is not waiting for another Pentecost or outpouring of the Holy Spirit, because God has ALREADY fulfilled and given the Promise. 

𝐈𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲. 𝐈𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐮𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲.

The earth is waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God who will release the Pentecost (aka the baptism of the Holy Spirit) through the law of the Spirit of Life within us (John 7:38; Rom 8:2), because Christ in you is the Hope of glory.

P.S: When people are baptised in the Holy Spirit in a meeting, it's not because God is pouring Him out once again. It's because the Body of Christ (filled with the Spirit within) is pouring Him out from their belly/heart (John 7:38).
