Discussion Questions
- How does Peter's use of Joel's prophecy show that the Spirit was meant to be accessible to all, not just a select few?
- What difference does it make to see the Spirit's gift as tied to faith, repentance, and baptism rather than miraculous signs alone?
- How should this understanding shape our view of the Spirit's work in the church today?
