Scripture<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acts 2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. 2And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. 4All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem. 6And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in the native language of each. 7Amazed and astonished, they asked, \u2018Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? 8And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language? 9Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, 11Cretans and Arabs\u2014in our own languages we hear them speaking about God\u2019s deeds of power.\u2019 12All were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, \u2018What does this mean?\u2019 13But others sneered and said, \u2018They are filled with new wine.\u2019
14 But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them: \u2018Men of Judea and all who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to what I say. 15Indeed, these are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only nine o\u2019clock in the morning. 16No, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:
17 \u201cIn the last days it will be, God declares,
that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh,
and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
and your young men shall see visions,
and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Even upon my slaves, both men and women,
in those days I will pour out my Spirit;
and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show portents in the heaven above
and signs on the earth below,
blood, and fire, and smoky mist.
20 The sun shall be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood,
before the coming of the Lord\u2019s great and glorious day.
21 Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

22 \u2018You that are Israelites, listen to what I have to say: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with deeds of power, wonders, and signs that God did through him among you, as you yourselves know\u2014 23this man, handed over to you according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of those outside the law. 24But God raised him up, having freed him from death, because it was impossible for him to be held in its power. 25For David says concerning him,
\u201cI saw the Lord always before me,
for he is at my right hand so that I will not be shaken;
26 therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced;
moreover, my flesh will live in hope.
27 For you will not abandon my soul to Hades,
or let your Holy One experience corruption.
28 You have made known to me the ways of life;
you will make me full of gladness with your presence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

29 \u2018Fellow Israelites, I may say to you confidently of our ancestor David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 30Since he was a prophet, he knew that God had sworn with an oath to him that he would put one of his descendants on his throne. 31Foreseeing this, David spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah, saying,
\u201cHe was not abandoned to Hades,
nor did his flesh experience corruption.\u201d
32This Jesus God raised up, and of that all of us are witnesses. 33Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you both see and hear. 34For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says,
\u201cThe Lord said to my Lord,
\u2018Sit at my right hand,
35 until I make your enemies your footstool.\u2019 \u201d
36Therefore let the entire house of Israel know with certainty that God has made him both Lord and Messiah, this Jesus whom you crucified.\u2019
37 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and to the other apostles, \u2018Brothers, what should we do?\u2019 38Peter said to them, \u2018Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39For the promise is for you, for your children, and for all who are far away, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to him.\u2019 40And he testified with many other arguments and exhorted them, saying, \u2018Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.\u2019 41So those who welcomed his message were baptized, and that day about three thousand persons were added. 42They devoted themselves to the apostles\u2019 teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.
43 Awe came upon everyone, because many wonders and signs were being done by the apostles. 44All who believed were together and had all things in common; 45they would sell their possessions and goods and distribute the proceeds to all, as any had need. 46Day by day, as they spent much time together in the temple, they broke bread at home and ate their food with glad and generous hearts, 47praising God and having the goodwill of all the people. And day by day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 Cor. 12: 3b-13<\/strong>
Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking by the Spirit of God ever says \u2018Let Jesus be cursed!\u2019 and no one can say \u2018Jesus is Lord\u2019 except by the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. To one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the discernment of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. All these are activated by one and the same Spirit, who allots to each one individually just as the Spirit chooses.
For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in the one Spirit we were all baptized into one body\u2014Jews or Greeks, slaves or free\u2014and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
