Jesus came down and died on the cross because God promise to send Him, Genesis 3:15 (I will make you and the woman enemies to each other. Your children and her children will be enemies. You will bite her child’s foot, but he will crush your head.”). God promise to send His soon Jesus Christ in past that was in the beginning.
Jesus came down and did his work as promised by father.
After completing His work, Jesus promised to send a Helper which is the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit came down during the time of Pentecost. And the work of the Holy Spirit was going to be done by Peter which Jesus promised him.
Actually all the apostles were there when Holy Spirit came down but the entire apostles die and were not settled at one place.
The apostles were distributing the gift of the Holy spirit to everyone but due to the wide spread persecution, the work of the apostles slowly fade away and finally die out.
Now the Good news of Jesus Christ came out to the entire world but the work of the Holy spirit did not come out.
This is because the apostles where only the ones who receive the strength of distributing the gift of Holy Spirit. The work of the Holy Spirit did not come out. If the work of the Holy spirit come out to the entire world then there should be one church as Jesus Promised peter. Since peter and the rest of the Apostles died, the work of the Holy Spirit ceased.
This may be because God wants to fulfil all the scripture in the bible.
Secondly, the Gods only people reject Holy Spirit.
There are 3 set of promise in the bible,
The work
Acts 8:15-17[SUP]15 [/SUP]When they arrived, they prayed for the new believers there that they might receive the Holy Spirit, [SUP]16 [/SUP]because the Holy Spirit had not yet come on any of them; they had simply been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. [SUP]17 [/SUP]Then Peter and John placed their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
Peter and John Placer their hands on them and they receive Holy Spirit. That indicated that they have not receive the Holy Spirit but only the disciple receive the Holy Spirit and they are the ones that can distributer Holy Spirit.
Acts 8:[SUP]15 [/SUP]When they arrived, they prayed for the new believers there that they might receive the Holy Spirit,
Acts 8: [SUP]17 [/SUP]Then Peter and John placed their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
Since they are the ones that receive the Holy Spirit they have the authority to distribute the Holy Spirit.
Paul also did the same thing on the other side,
Acts 19:1-4, While Apostles was at Corinth; Paul took the road through the interior and arrived at Ephesus. There he found some disciples [SUP]2 [/SUP]and asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?”
They answered, “No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”
[SUP]3 [/SUP]So Paul asked, “Then what baptism did you receive?”
“John’s baptism,” they replied.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]Paul said, “John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus.” [SUP]5 [/SUP]On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Acts 19:6-7 [SUP]6 [/SUP]When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied. [SUP]7 [/SUP]There were about twelve men in all.
Act 11:15 “As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came on them as he had come on us at the beginning. [SUP]16 [/SUP]Then I remembered what the Lord had said: ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’
The actual work of the Holy Spirit ceased and is still unknown.
The gift of the Holy Spirit are stated in the 1Corintain 12:7-11, Something from the Spirit can be seen in each person. The Spirit gives this to each one to help others. [SUP]8 [/SUP]The Spirit gives one person the ability to speak with wisdom. And the same Spirit gives another person the ability to speak with knowledge. [SUP]9 [/SUP]The same Spirit gives faith to one person and to another he gives gifts of healing. [SUP]10 [/SUP]The Spirit gives to one person the power to do miracles, to another the ability to prophesy, and to another the ability to judge what is from the Spirit and what is not. The Spirit gives one person the ability to speak in different kinds of languages, and to another the ability to interpret those languages. [SUP]11 [/SUP]One Spirit, the same Spirit, does all these things. The Spirit decides what to give each one.
The 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] promised was mad during the time of Moses (Deuteronomy 32:21They made me jealous with things that are not really gods. They made me angry with their worthless idols.
So I will use people who are not really a nation to make them jealous.
I will use a worthless nation to make them angry.). Isaiah also boldly stated about the same promise (Isaiah 63:10 Yet they rebelled and grieved his Holy Spirit. So he turned and became their enemy and he himself fought against them.)
Acts21:10[SUP] 10 [/SUP]after we had been there for several days, a prophet named Agabus came from Judea. [SUP]11 [/SUP]He came to us and borrowed Paul’s belt. He used it to tie his own hands and feet. He said, “The Holy Spirit tells me, ‘This is how the Jews in Jerusalem will tie up the man who wears this belt.[SUP][b][/SUP] Then they will hand him over to people who don’t know God.’”
Romans 11:17, [SUP]17 [/SUP]It is as if some of the branches from an olive tree have been broken off, and the branch of a wild olive tree has been joined to that first tree. If you are not a Jew, you are the same as that wild branch, and you now share the strength and life of the first tree.
God promise to use a foolish nation and they are the wild ones God will use to make Israel angry.
All the Gods promise will be fulfilled before the heaven and earth pass away.
