full of the Holy Spirit without measure
-
authoritative in teaching and preaching
-
mighty and miraculous in ministry

resurrected in power
and who…
-
ascended into heaven
-
intercedes before the Father on our behalf
4) in the forgiveness of sins through the shed blood of Jesus alone
5) in eternal life and salvation by grace through faith in Christ
6) in the deity of the Holy Spirit who

anoints us unto fruit and good works
