Read the Scripture as it is, and NOT what you want to make it!

It distinctly says, you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, a "new spirit" is NOT mentioned!

With the baptism in the Spirit also comes the manifestation of the gifts of the Spirit (including prophecy) as listed in 1Cor 12v7-11.

To say that somehow Christ was not setting (and still does) the ministry gift of prophet and apostle in the Church throughout the whole of the age of grace is sheer nonsense! Matt 23v34, Mal 4v5,6, Rev 11v3-6.

It is unfortunate that Christians like yourself, because of your unbelief in the miraculous and greater ministries greatly limit the Holy One of Israel! Psalm 78v41.

what is unfortunate is that you equate having a sound mind and defensible doctrine 'unbelief'

you are making a whole string of false equivocations with these arguments, and you really ought to take your own advice insofar as reading scripture as it is, rather than what you or ((more likely IMO)) your earthly teachers have told you to make of it. whoever wrote 1 Corinthians 12 does not apparently agree with what you say Acts 2 means.
