Introduction to Pentecostal Doctrine

The Spirit of God did not fill individuals until the day of Shavuot (Pentecost).

The consensus of New Covenant (New Testament) writers reveals that every believer is given at least one gift.

Rav Shaul  (Paul) says that there should be a maximum of three prophetic utterances in one service.

The Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) is coequal with the Father and Son.

In the Tenach (Old Testament), the Spirit of God was experienced by only a select few.

A recurring theme in the Tenach (Old Testament) is that when the Ruach (Spirit) comes upon people, they

prophesy.

The Ruach (Spirit) condemns sinful persons concerning their spiritual need.

The Ruach (Spirit) is the “earnest” of our spiritual inheritance

Revelation is the act by which God makes himself known to people

Speaking in tongues involved the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) coming upon a person and prompting the person to speak out.

The baptism in the Ruach (Spirit) is an once-for-all experience

Tongues are “a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers.”

The value of tongues extends to the body, the kehilah (church), when tongues are accompanied by an interpretation.

The word “spirit” suggests an absence of personhood.

Yeshua needed the anointing of the Ruach (Spirit) because He elected to live as a man relying on the power of the Ruach (Spirit).

The work of the Ruach (Spirit) forms Believers into a community or fellowship.

Yeshua promised the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) would teach all things, therefore human teachers are not necessary.

Rav Shaul’s (Paul’s) listing of spiritual gifts is a complete listing of all possible gifts.

Yeshua said the disciples should wait ten more days until they received the gift of the Father because:

According to John’s Gospel, what is not an activity of the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) that relates specifically to Messiah?

Blaspheming the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) is evidenced by:

The connection between the Ruach (Spirit) and the kehilah (church) is shown by the use of which figures of speech:
