Hollenweger: “I do not know anybody who could convincingly define what ‘mainstream Pentecostalism’ is.” I do not know how any true Pentecostal can argue with that!

Should be published within the next few months and will be a massive contribution (IMO) to Pentecostal Christology.

Focusing on the kingdom/New Covenant Spirit, Jesus came to . . .
1. introduce the kingdom/New Covenant Spirit (Matt 3:11 ||
Mark 1:8 || Luke 3:16; John 1:26,33; Luke 4:18; Rom 15:8);
2. model a perfect example of how to live out that kingdom,
New Covenant Spirit in a ministry of revelation and power.
“I have given you an example that you also should do as I
have done” (John 13:15); Isa 61:1–2 > Acts 10:38; 1 Cor
11:1; 2 Cor 4:8–16; Phil 3:17; 1 Tim 3:16; 1 Pet 2:21–24;
3:18;
3. ratify (place his signature on) the kingdom/New Covenant
Spirit in his blood (Matt 26:28–29 || Mark 14:24–25 || Luke
22:20, 1 Cor 11:25; Gal 3:10–16; Heb 9:15; 10:10; 12:24;
13:20–21;
4. vindicate the kingdom/New Covenant in the power of his
resurrection (Rom 1:4–5; Phil 3:10-14; Rom 8:11–14; 1 Tim
3:16);
5. bestow the kingdom/New Covenant Spirit from Heaven
(John 14:16–18, 26; 16:7; Acts 2:33; Eph 4:7–11); and,
ultimately . . .
6. become the New Covenant (John 14:18; 14:26; 1 Cor 15:45;
2 Cor 3:17).
