The Pentecostal experience with the Holy Spirit gives an existential awareness of miracles in the biblical worldview. Ervin's "pneumatic" hermeneutics points to the f-r.babilitation of the role of the Holy Spirit in interpretation.
The Hermeneutics of Lucan Historiography
Moreover, as Ervin reminds us, the experience of the pneumatic creates a continuum between the modern Pentecostal world and the ancient biblical world. Fee, Ervin, and Menzies have proven to be pioneering strategists in the development of the new Pentecostal hermeneutics, but each has a partial or fragmentary focus.
The Literary Genre of Luke-Acts’
Luke, on the other hand, writes the history of the followers of Jesus and their converts. In terms of content, Luke's first account (pycfo, logon) is the Acts of Jesus and his second account is the Acts of the Apostles.
Approaches to Historical Narrative
This is the approach of the person in the pew more than the approach of the professor at the podium. Indeed, a decade after the publication of The Baptism and Fullness of the Holy Spirit there were rumors that.
I A Modest Proposal
Luke also attributes a paradigmatic significance to the gift of the Spirit in the initiation narrative. In other words, the ministry of Jesus, anointed, led and empowered by the Spirit, is a paradigm for the ministry of the disciples, which will be ---__.
Pentecostal Experience and
Regarding the Pentecostal movement and its understanding of the apostolic testimony of the Holy Spirit, Baptist theologian Dr. To summarize, it is quite clear that the Pentecostals are not alone in bringing experiential preconditions to the interpretation of the Bible.
Pentecostal Hermeneutics: A Modest Proposal
Although they do not guarantee good interpretation, they give an important pre-understanding of the text. If charismatic experience and the enlightenment of the Spirit constitute the experiential and the pneumatic elements of a Pentecostal hermeneutic, then respect for literary genre and Protestant biblical hermeneutics form the rational element of a Pentecostal hermeneutic. Furthermore, in affirming the place of the pneumatic, I do not say that the Spirit gives knowledge to the interpreter independently of study and research.
As we demonstrated in Pentecostal hermeneutics, charismatic experience gives the interpreter a prior understanding of the relevant biblical texts, such as Luke-Acts.
Filled With The Holy Spirit”
Terminology in Luke-Acts
Select Lexical Data
Furthermore, with the exception of the announcement that John "will be filled with the Holy Spirit" (Luke 1:15), pimpEmi is always in the aorist tense. Thus, the phrase, "X 'was filled' with the Holy Spirit" (+s~G pneumufos hgiou plus variants), has no semantic peculiarities, but it is consistent with the way Luke frequently uses pimpEmi. The terminology with which he describes the presence and activity of the Holy Spirit is equally rich and varied.
Having studied this lexical data and drawn some preliminary conclusions, we can now proceed with the interpretation of the "filled with the Holy Spirit" terminology in Luke-Acts.
A Hermeneutical Program
In addition, there are differences regarding 1) ’ . whether it is related to the Old Testament activity of God's Spirit or is uniquely Christian, and 2) whether it is a temporary or permanent possession - differences that are sometimes resolved by assuming that "being filled with the Holy Spirit" has a different meaning in the Gospel than in Acts. Luke's stylistic commitment extends especially to his terminology in describing the presence and activity of the Holy Spirit.” The following table shows that most of Luke's terms are paralleled in the Septuagint to describe the presence and activity of the Spirit of the Holy Spirit. God. Filled with the Holy Spirit has the same meaning in both the Gospel and Acts.
Despite the fact that the term is the same in both the Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles, in his monograph The Holy Spirit in the Acts of the Apostles, J.
Filled With the Holy Spirit”: A Term Signifying Prophetic Inspiration
Luke is indebted to Jesus for his understanding of the vocational purpose of the gift of the Holy Spirit. If Luke's record accurately reflects the teaching of Jesus about the purpose of the gift of the Holy Spirit, then the result of receiving the Spirit will correspond to that purpose. Jordan, for the disciples on Pentecost, or for Saul in Damascus, the pattern is consistent: the gift of the Spirit always results in mission.
Because Luke describes the gift of the Spirit to the Samaritans, the household of Cornelius, and the Ephesians in similar terms, the professional outcome is also implicit here.
Filled with the Holy Spirit’ and Other Terminology in Luke- Acts
Filled with the Holy Spirit' and Other Terminology in Luke-Acts .. receive the Holy Spirit," Luke emphasizes the complementq human response to .that initiative. Luke uses the verbal phrase "baptized with the Holy Spirit" three times: 1) in contrast to himself, who baptizes with water, John announces that his successor "will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and fire" (Luke 3:16 ); . For Luke, "baptized in the Spirit," is the anointing or dedication of the disciples for (a prophetic) mission; "filled with the Holy Spirit," on the other hand, is the prophetic office and/or prophetic inspiration to which the disciples were anointed.
Since Luke uses these two expressions, because it is an anointing for service, "baptized in the Holy Spirit" is a once-for-all experience, whereas "filled with the Holy Spirit" is both an office and, as the need arises, a ( potentially) repeated experience.
Signs on the Earth Beneath
In relation to the subject of this chapter, we find that Luke uses the term "filled with the Holy Spirit" not to describe moral behavior or Christian service in general, but rather as a technical term to describe the office of the prophet to describe, on the one hand, or to introduce prophetic speech (a pneuma discourse) on the other. We also found that Luke gives pride of place to the term, "filled with the Holy Spirit," rather than to the term, "baptized with the Holy Spirit." Thus, "filled with the Holy Spirit," and not "baptized with the Holy Spirit," must be the center of our own pneumatology. Our task is therefore not to make our pneumatology Reformed, Wesleyan or Pentecostal, F's, but to make it Biblical.
In other words, instead of trying to fit Luke's pneumatology with ours, we should fit our pneumatology with his.
Hermeneutical Program
Each interpreter brings a variety of experiential, rational, and spiritual presuppositions to the interpretation of Scripture. Because Luke wrote in the historical narrative genre, the question of the contemporary applicability of Luke's Acts raises contrasting views. None of these factors, therefore, can be applied to the contemporary reception of the Spirit.
The practice of faith in the contemporary church relates to this early church practice in two ways.
Pentecost: The Origin of the Charismatic Community (Acts 2:1-21)
The ascension of Jesus is the next element in the immediate context of the Pentecostal narrative (1:9-11). It shows that the Spirit-baptized and Spirit-empowered witness of the disciples must be carried out in It is clear that the miracle of the Galileans speaking in the languages of the countries of the country.
Today's gift of the Spirit that you witnessed indicates that the Messiah has already come.
The Holy Spirit in Luke-Acts
In other words, according to Luke, Jesus was not only the founder of Christianity, anointed, guided, empowered by the Spirit, but the disciples, his followers, are also baptized, guided and empowered by the Spirit. This is not surprising, because their mission is to continue doing and teaching those things that Jesus began to do and teach. Thus, while Luke's first volume of his two-volume history of the origin and spread of Christianity tells the story of the charismatic Christ who goes about doing good, his second volume tells the story of the charismatic community of disciples who go about and do good, because the Spirit of Christ was with them.
Synopsis of Lucan Christology
Luke, like Matthew, reports that the miracle of the incarnation was done by the shadowy power of the Holy Spirit. This is the relationship between Jesus and the Holy Spirit, which Luke shares with one or more of the other evangelists. That relationship between Jesus and the Holy Spirit, which is unique to Luke-Acts, makes Luke the historian-theologian of the Spirit and Jesus the charismatic Christ.
In Jerusalem, "the apostles," Luke reports, "were testifying to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus" (4-33).
A Synthesis of Luke’s Pneumatology
Cumulatively, however, the evidence is overwhelmingly convincing: There is a personalization of the Spirit in Luke's Acts. The personalization of the Holy Spirit finds its greatest significance in the Trinitarian dimension of Luke's theology. In addition to being led by the Holy Spirit, Jesus also ministered in the power of the Holy Spirit (Luke 4:14).
This observation is reinforced by Luke's most prominent term to describe the activity of the Holy Spirit.
Unity and Diversity
Lucan, Johannine, and Pauline Perspectives on the Holy Spirit
Dunn conforms Luke's account of the gift of the Spirit to the Samaritans, with the report thereof. If they believed in the name of the Lord Jesus (v. 16) they must be called Christians. Dunn, Bupt%m in the Holy Spirit: A Re-examination of the New Testament Tding on the Gijt oj the Spirit in ReZation to Pentecostulism Today.
The unity in their perspectives on the Holy Spirit stems mainly from the Christ event which gave rise to New Testament faith.
Unity in New Testament Pneumatology
Regarding the gift of the Spirit to the mother of the disciples in general, John writes: "But you have an anointing from the Holy One. Paul usually refers to the Holy Spirit simply as "the Spirit". But "Spirit" is. Therefore, for the disciples, as for Jesus before, the gift of the Spirit is professional.
It is important that in John, as well as in Luke, the disciples are pneumatic or people of the Spirit.
Diversity in New Testament Pneumatology
For Paul, the role of the Spirit can also be seen in the sanctification of the believer. 2:13, Paul writes that salvation comes through faith in the truth and the sanctification of the Spirit. Pentecostal experience with the Holy Spirit gives existential awareness of the miracles in the Biblical worldview.
Ervin's "pneumatic" hermeneutic points to the rehabilitation of the role of the Holy Spirit in the interpretation of Scripture.
