Pentecost - Was it the birthday of the church?

[GRACE ambassador]

Precious friend(s):

IF it was, why don't we (as some try to) "use it as model" for the current
church, Or, Did God "Change Dispensations" from law To GRACE, Thus

Disabling that model?:​

The Day of Pentecost is the anniversary of the First Covenant to the Jews. Exodus 34:28, the giving of the Ten Commandments. We are now under a New Covenant of Grace, and the laws of God are now written on our hearts rather than engraved in stone. Instead of keeping the letter of the law, we keep the Spirit of the Law. 2 Corinthians 3:6-11.

For instance instead of keeping a physical day holy as in the letter of the law, we abide in Jesus and He in us. He is the Lord of the Sabbath and we rest in Him. It is a completely new concept, but some choose the letter of the law and cannot fathom what abiding in Jesus even means. And then others like both abiding in Jesus and keeping the 7th day Sabbath. And then there are those who unscripturally make Sunday the letter of the law. Whatever you do, do it in faith and obey your conscience.

Sort of maam, God had people way before that day in 33:CE, what is was actually is the start of the new covenant, the birth of Christianity.

Neither.
What I was on my day of birth isn't the model for the rest of my life, so why should it be so for the Church?
There's a continuity, however, between the Church then and the Church now. The same Holy Spirit empowers us. How He chooses to manifest His power is up to Him, of course.
