Pastor Troy Dobbs explains Pentecost as a historical event, occurring 50 days after the ascension of Christ. On this day, the Holy Spirit came down upon the ten dozen Christ followers and allowed them to speak in various foreign languages so that those who came to Jerusalem could understand the gospel and bring it back to their home countries. He then goes on to describe the polarizing nature of the gospel and how it is written that those who believe in it and share it will be hated and persecuted.
