Do not fill this in! ===The Holy Spirit, the Christian community, and the Kingdom of God=== The Holy Spirit plays a more important role in Luke–Acts than in the other gospels. Some scholars have argued that the Spirit's involvement in the career of Jesus is paradigmatic of the universal Christian experience, others that Luke's intention was to stress Jesus' uniqueness as the Prophet of the final age.{{sfn|Powell|1989|pp=108–11}} It is clear, however, that Luke understands the enabling power of the Spirit, expressed through non-discriminatory fellowship ("All who believed were together and had all things in common"), to be the basis of the Christian community.{{sfn|Powell|1989|p=111}} This community can also be understood as the [[Kingdom of God]], although the kingdom's final consummation will not be seen till the [[Son of Man]] comes "on a cloud" at the end-time.{{sfn|Holladay|2011|p=no page number}} Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
