True Holy Spirit spirituality does not result in states of ecstasy or detachment, nor any form of disembodied individualism. The work of the Spirit in the Christian life is to incorporate embodied persons together under the Lordship of Christ. This is expressed and manifested through a variety of gifts, services, and energies.

The coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost changed the calculus forever. It was a watershed moment in the history of humanity, redefining the way that God and man relate to one another. It opened up all the possibilities of heaven: life greater than death, real transformation and power for godliness, and the intimacy and care of a filial relationship with God.
