注意聖靈(神的靈)先降臨耶穌,後在五旬節降臨信徒。基督的靈不同於聖靈。
路加3
22. 聖靈降臨在他身上,形狀仿佛鴿子。又有聲音從天上來,說,你是我的愛子,我喜悅你。
22. and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: "You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased."
徒2
3. 又有舌頭如火焰顯現出來,分開落在他們各人頭上。
3. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.
4. 他們就都被聖靈充滿,按着聖靈所賜的口才,說起別國的話來。
4. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
16. 這正是先知約珥所說的。
16. No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17. 神說,在末後的日子,我要將我的靈澆灌凡有血氣的。你們的兒女要說預言。你們的少年人要見異象。老年人要作異夢。
17. "'In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.
18. 在那些日子,我要將我的靈澆灌我的仆和使女,他們就要說預言。
18. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.
19. 在天上我要顯出奇事,在地下我要顯出神跡,有血,有火,有煙霧。
19. I will show wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke.
徒2,這裡明顯說神的靈是聖靈。
可見這裡聖靈是為了施洗和澆灌之用,而不是基督受難復活的靈。
