I. Confirmation in the Economy of Salvation
1287
This fullness of the Spirit was not to remain uniquely the Messiah’s, but was
to be communicated to the whole messianic people.93 On several
occasions Christ promised this outpouring of the Spirit,94 a promise
which he fulfilled first on Easter Sunday and then more strikingly at
Pentecost.95 Filled with the Holy Spirit the apostles began to proclaim
“the mighty works of God,” and Peter declared this outpouring of the
Spirit to be the sign of the messianic age.96 Those who believed in the
apostolic preaching and were baptized received the gift of the Holy Spirit in
their turn.97
