not experience the unique historical moment of pentecost - but has the blessing of the HS - particular place particular time - in God’s outworking of salvation - marks the demise of the old covenant and the coming of the new covenant - never to be repeated again
differences between the old covenant and new covenant experiences of the Holy Spirit
key differences (5)
- the NC experience the permanent presence of the HS, rather than His anointing (that could be withdraw because of persist or hanus sin (story of russian person being amazed that HS is permanent presence
- experience the indwelling of the HS (more intimate), rather than his close proximity
- HS poured out on all believers rather than a select group of leaders
- HS is for jews and gentiles a like - poured out on both - in the OC is Israelites only - some that would attach themselves as prostate to them
- Spirit is characteristic of the new covenant work in the church - spirit really come stop the for front here
OC vs NC vs Jesus comes back HS
more extensive and intense in NC then OC -will be even more , in full when Jesus comes back
- pales in comparison to what is to come - now we have salvation in part - we have the blessings in part - we have power over sin in part - now we have the work of the HS in part - then when Christ comes we will have salvations in its fullness we will have the blessings of God in their fullness, power over sin in their fullness - work of the HS in its fullness
