### Since Pentecost

The promises of Christ concerning the coming of the Spirit were fulfilled at Pentecost (Acts 1:4,5; 2:1-4), and the promises concerning the work of the Spirit in this age have received a continuous fulfillment ever since Pentecost.

1. The Holy Spirit and the Church

1. The Church is formed by the Holy Spirit
   - 1Corinthians 12:13 - "For by one Spirit... baptized into one body"
   - Acts 2:44 - "All that believed were together"
   - Acts 2:47 - "Added to the church daily such as should be saved"
2. The Church is unified and indwelt by the Holy Spirit
   - 1Corinthians 12:12 - "All the members of that one body, being many, are one body"
   - Ephesians 2:14,15 - "[Christ] is our peace, who hath made [all believers]... one new man"
   - Ephesians 2:22 - "Ye also are builded together an habitation of God through the Spirit"

- The Holy Spirit and the believer since Pentecost

1. Every believer is baptized by the Spirit
   - Acts 2:3 - "Sat upon each of them"
   - Acts 2:4 - "All filled"
   - 1Corinthians 12:13 - "By one Spirit are we all baptized"
   - Ephesians 1:13 - "Ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit"
2. Every believer is indwelt by the Spirit
   - Romans 8:9 - "Have not the Spirit... he is none of His"
