The traditional Pentecostal understanding of the events of Acts 8.4-25 typically centers upon a two-stage model for the reception of the Spirit. While this article does not seek to preclude the plausibility of such a model, it does, however, seek to take a step further by providing a culturally-sensitive analysis concerning how the coming of the Spirit, the apostolic imposition of hands (Acts 8.17), and the concept of worship in ‘spirit and truth’ (Jn 4.24) serves as a paradigm for ethnic reconciliation.

精神的到来和手的放下：民族和解的典范

传统的五旬节式的关于使徒行传8.4-25节的理解通常集中在接受圣灵的两阶段模型上。虽然本文并未试图排除这种模式的合理性，但它的确采取了进一步的措施，即对灵性的到来，使徒施加手的举止进行了文化敏感性的分析（使徒行传8.17节） ，“精神与真理”中的敬拜概念（Jn 4.24）是民族和解的范例。
