2. Pentecost Showcases the Trinity. Christian theology is grounded in a doctrine of three in one, the Holy Trinity: often described as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Pentecost was a big Trinity moment! The Father sends the Spirit to make the Son present. On Pentecost we can teach and celebrate the Trinity. 3 In 1974 the Worldwide Church of God changed its teaching on which day to observe Pentecost-from Monday to Sunday.

2. Does it make us more like the pattern of the early Church as written in the Acts of the Apostles? Paul warns in Gal. 1:8, and 10-11 that though he or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel than that of the Apostles, let him be accursed.
