Something that stuck out to me from the A team’s comments on fullness of the the Spirit was how diverse these experiences can look. What does it mean to be filled with the Spirit? Externally, there is a wide range of what it can look like. Maybe it looks like speaking in tongues, or perhaps a boldness that rises up from within, or even an outpouring of God’s compassion for the person sitting across from you. Regardless, the fruit of being filled with the Spirit is what we should be looking for. Are we looking more like Jesus? Are we walking obediently to the things he has called us to do? These are the questions I think about when I think of the fullness of the Spirit.

Walking in the Spirit is so relational and transformational. I really liked both of those emphases in the video and how it showed that we need the Holy Spirit to empower and shape us, but He is also someone we want to grow relationally with and find life in that relationship!

I like the idea of the difference between a pilot light and the full flame of a furnace when it comes to thinking about the fullness of the Spirit; we should be full to the overflowing, over the brim!
The other value that stood out to me was discipleship, and made me wonder if one on one mentorship / discipleship should really be a core component of any Spiritual leader. All of the structures and ministries are good and right, but if we can’t show by example what discipleship looks like with at least one person, perhaps that needs to be a higher priority!

The A-Team members’ comments on ACOP’s Value for the Fullness of the Spirit highlighted the importance of being empowered by the Holy Spirit for ministry and daily life. Their insights emphasized the need for a Spirit-filled life, characterized by passion, power, and purpose. This value resonates deeply, as it aligns with biblical teachings and the early Pentecostal movement’s emphasis on the Spirit’s empowerment.
Other values that resonate with me include the emphasis on community, evangelism, and discipleship. These values are essential for building strong, vibrant churches that impact their communities. I appreciate ACOP’s commitment to these values, which reflect biblical principles and priorities.
Overall, ACOP’s values provide a solid foundation for ministry and mission, emphasizing the importance of Spirit-empowered living, community, and evangelism.
