The Gift Of The Holy Spirit
God gave the Holy Spirit to confirm the witness of the Church (Acts 1:4-8). Within a cruciform-apocalyptic framework, the witness of the Church is substantially the kindness of God embodied in the Cross in light of the severity of God embodied in the Day of the Lord (Acts 10:42f; 17:30f; Rom. 5:8ff; 2 Pet. 3:7ff; etc). In contrast to putting confidence in the flesh for eternal life, we walk according to the Spirit by putting faith in the Cross for eternal life (Gal. 3; Phil. 3; Rom. 8).

The key to guarding against insulting the Spirit of grace (Heb. 10:29) is understanding the death of the Messiah in light of the sacrificial system.

Evangelism Among Jews And Gentiles Part 1
Though Jew and Gentile alike are saved upon the same basis of faith in the Cross, the early church did not approach evangelism and discipleship among Jew and Gentile homogenously. There was a clear order to evangelism (Acts 13:46ff; 18:4ff; Rom. 1:16), and there was a clear distinction in discipleship (Acts 15:19ff; 21:20-25). It would serve the Church well to see these distinctions, so that modern evangelists don’t unnecessarily offend both Jew and Gentile.
