For some people "Pentecostals" is a new word to some. A century again it was rarely part of the average North American's vocabulary. However, it's used has risen steadily, most often in reference to the fastest growing segment of the Christian faith. Although it has become much more common in recent years, it is not a new word. It goes back to an ancient Jewish feast celebrated the first fruits of the harvest. The Hebrew was primarily an agrarian society and a successful harvest was critical to their well-being. They celebrated God's blessing and provision for them with a feast, which fell on the fiftieth day after another important feast day, the Passover. But for Christians, Pentecost takes on a different meaning. It marks the birthday of the Church. The bible also records the first outbreak or outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the earliest believers on the Day of Pentecost. The Book of Acts records the experiences and teachings of this new movement. Because many of the key players of the Acts church were eyewitnesses to the life and teachings of Jesus, it follows that they would have the clearest insight into the way in which to worship Jesus. As a result the church in Acts should function as a model to follow when attempting to build a church. However over the centuries the institutional church lost sight of the Acts pattern. Just over a hundred years ago.

"The Holy Spirit is equal in essence, majesty, and power to both the Father and the Son .... Sadly, many within evangelicalism have silently watched the desecration take place. If God the Father or God the Son were mocked in this way, evangelicals would surely protest. Why should we be any less passionate for the glory and honor of the Spirit?" - Dr. John Macarthur This article/thesis will stand on the truth of the Word of God about the deity and divinity of the Holy Spirit. This will prove that the claim of some false religion is regarded as a slander not only against the Holy Spirit but also against God Himself.

Hello there beautiful person! I'm so glad you stumbled upon this book, though I have no doubt it was your aspiration for Jesus that led you here. Sit back and enjoy a little bit of the Holy Spirit and know that I am praying for you and everything you may be going through. Don't be afraid to message me or put in a comment so others can pray for you too. May this be a community where all of us can grow together as we journey through this crazy life to a infinitely more beautiful one. **Just so you know, the majority of the first twenty chapters were written when I was much younger, about three years ago. You may find they are written in a different way, coinciding with my mental age at the time. Since then, I have learned a great deal about my spiritual life. However, I felt that keeping the chapters there would help me better reflect on my journey. Thank you for all the support**
