Summary
Dimitrios Panagopoulos teaches on the Holy Spirit as the third Person of the Trinity and on Pentecost, using Acts 7, John 7:39, John 14-16, and 1 John 2:1. Pentecost is presented as the culmination of the saving sequence from the Incarnation through the Ascension, and Stephen’s vision confirms Christ’s arrival at the Father’s right hand before the Spirit’s descent. The Spirit is not a force but the Paraclete, promised and withheld until Christ was glorified. Grace is given in Baptism, sealed in Chrismation, and sustained through the sacraments, especially Communion; antidoron is only a blessing. The lecture also warns against transferring saving agency from Christ to the Theotokos, who intercedes but does not save.
