First, the event of Pentecost is presented as an ecclesio-genetic gift of the Holy Spirit. Then the pneumatological iconicity of the Church is shown. In the third point, the essential signs constituting the pneumatological credibility of Ecclesia are explained. The holistic presentation of the presence and action of the Holy Spirit in the Church – both in its genesis and in its permanent realisation in history – is the basis for demonstrating its absolute uniqueness, which is possible with the simultaneous participation of <em>ratio</em> and <em>fides</em>. The pneumatological credibility of the Church is closely linked to other kinds of arguments found within the framework of fundamental theology, e.g. scriptural, resurrectionist, agapetological, martyrological, praxeological, sperantist, veritative, or the argument from holiness. In all these arguments, the pneumatological aspect must be made even clearer.</p> ER -
