00596 – The Spirit of Pentecost

God’s Spirit is poured out upon a community of believers. The Holy Spirit is not a “personal” gift from God that each believer privatizes—”you can have your Spirit if I can have mine.”

This same Spirit of one God “appeared among them—on each of them” as the distinguishing mark of a people belonging to God.

from “The Acts of the Apostles,” New Interpreter’s Bible Commentary
