From the Paper:

"H. H. Halley tells us that the original mission of the church was to be a "witness-bearing institution to Christ" as opposed to an institution of authority to force Jesus upon the world. (Halley 767). Part of this witness was the experience of the Holy Spirit. The work of the Holy Spirit proved that Christianity was, among other things, a supernatural experience. The presence of the Holy Spirit allowed for the apostles to work miracles in the name of the Lord, which led others to Christ. In essence, the Holy Spirit was responsible for the growth of the early church and it is clear that the disciples were empowered by him."
