PART 4 ABSTAIN? MODERATION? 5 FROM THE DAY OF PENTECOST TO THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH Jesus promised the disciples after He left this earth that He would send to each of them the Holy Spirit, who is another member of the Trinity that would come and dwell within them. On the day of Pentecost, this promise was fulfilled. From that time on, the disciples’ mission would be to proclaim the good news that Jesus Christ, the Messiah, who is deity, came to the earth to die on a cross as a substitute for mankind, thus paying the penalty demanded by another member of the Trinity, God the Father for all of the sins that were committed by the entire world, past, present, and future. This payment opened the door for sinful man to have an opportunity to enter into heaven immediately at physical death, provided they repented of their sins to God the Father and professed belief in his Jesus Christ as to who He is and what He has accomplished. Acts 26:20
