The coming of the Spirit at Pentecost represents both fulfillment and anticipation of eschatological expectations in as much as Pentecost both fulfills previous expectations regarding the coming of the Spirit and represents a promise of the future consummation of the work of God. This already/not yet reality of the eschaton is evident throughout pneumatology and carries implications for ministry and Christian living and for the doctrine of Spirit baptism. Believers should minister in the power of the Spirit with the aim of the kingdom of God that is already present while longing with Spirit-inspired hope for the future eschatological work of the Spirit that has not yet taken place. Furthermore, Spirit baptism is eschatological in as much as Pentecost fulfills and anticipates numerous eschatological expectations regarding the coming of the Spirit, including not only power for witness, but also a new heart, obedience, new life, and eventually resurrection.

âPalma, The Holy Spirit, p. 97. I say âbegun to have been fulfilledâ because the Spirit has not yet been poured out on âall fleshâ. Some would maintain that that Spirit has already been poured out on all flesh. Jürgen Moltmann, for example, tends to emphasize that the Spirit is âalready poured out on all fleshâ (Spirit of Life, p. 182, also pp. 240, 270). However, the fact that many people received the Spirit for the first time after the day of Pentecost indicates otherwise. Furthermore, there is still what Steven M. Studebaker calls a âpneumatological remainderâ. See his From Pentecost to the Triune God: A Pentecostal Trinitarian Theology (Pentecostal Manifestos; Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 2012), pp. 89â90.

âMacchia, Baptized in the Spirit, p. 281. Cf. pp. 15 and 60, 78â79.
