O Consolador prometido
Jesus prometeu enviar o Consolador — o Espírito da Verdade — que estaria para sempre com os discípulos e os guiaria em toda verdade.

O derramamento do Espírito
No Pentecostes, o Espírito desceu como fogo sobre os discípulos. Desde então, todos os que creem recebem o Espírito.
