Elaborations
Christians believe that, as at Pentecost (Acts 2:1-13), the Holy Spirit is constantly enlivening and guiding the church and its members, giving new insight, discernment, and call to action to empower a response to the Gospel in every context.
The Christian movement began in Jerusalem among the Jewish and Gentile followers of Jesus, spread into Judea and Samaria and throughout the world. The origins of the Church are found in Jesus’ ministry i.e. in the whole of God’s action in Jesus, in his ministry, in his death, in his resurrection, and in the gift of the Spirit to the disciples of Jesus. The early Church was a community committed to living in the spirit and mission of the risen Jesus. It is a model of unity, worship, service, care of the poor and the ability to deal with conflict and diversity e.g. Acts 15.
Examples in Scripture include but are not limited to:
Acts: Chapters, 8, 9 and 19. Corinthians: Chapter 12-14.
