For the record, “Jesus didn't come, from heaven to earth, to give us a new lifestyle; but He came to baptize/or fill us with the Holy Ghost (to tabernacle IN us, by His Spirit; to impart His life).”
[Pastor; Matt 3:11]
That mission was accomplished when the day of Pentecost was fully come, and “they were ALL filled with the Holy Ghost...”
[Acts 2:1,4]
Staying on message, Jesus told His disciples, Before I go [back] to My Father, “I will pray [to Him to] give you another Comforter...even the Spirit of truth ...that He may abide with you for ever ...for He dwelleth with you, and shall be IN you.”
[Jn 14:13, 16-18]
The Apostle Paul wrote to the church, at Rome, that “Now is our salvation nearer than when we [first] believed.”
If there is no “Now” (the earnest of the Spirit), we have no hope for a “Later” (ie. salvation/eternal life, as the end of your faith). “Behold, Now is the day of salvation;” and Pentecost is the connection.
[Rom 13:11; Pastor; 2 Cor 1:22; 1 Pet 1:9; 2 Cor 6:2]
