Worship through Praise: Praise the Holy Ghost, Part 2

There's been much confusion in the Church about the work of the Holy Spirit. The Scriptures say that He seals us, fills us, and baptizes us, but what does this mean? Is this a work which every believer somehow experiences upon salvation, or does it come later? If we are sealed with the Spirit the moment we express faith, then why didn't Christ's disciples receive the Spirit until Pentecost, and why didn't John the Baptist's disciples receive the Spirit until Paul laid hands on them? We'll better understand the work of the Holy Spirit when we answer this final question: When Jesus began His earthly ministry, was He ministering under the Old Covenant or the New?
