"In the Pentecost service the Chief Apostle points out that the outpouring of the Holy Spirit is an early reference to the sacrament of Holy Sealing, through which the (gifts of the) Holy Spirit is dispensed by the Apostle ministry, creating the childhood in God and the conditions necessary for becoming a firstling (Bride of Christ). The gift of the Holy Spirit has effects within us and can be recognized by our trust in God, our spiritual equilibrium, the words we speak, and the compassion we show our neighbor."
The doctrine of the New Apostolic Church (as taught by Chief Apostle Schneider in this video) is that only those "sealed" by one of their Apostles can receive the "gifts of the Holy Spirit" which they believe is an (exclusive to the NAC) prerequisite for becoming the Bride of Christ.
It is the doctrine of the New Apostolic Church that due to the lack of the "gifts of the Holy Spirit", all other Christians alive at the return of Christ cannot become His Bride and He will leave them behind to endure the tribulation.
In minute 31:45 Chief Apostle Schneider claims that all those who received the Holy Spirit after Pentecost only received Him through the laying on of hands by the Apostles. His claim contradicts Apostle Peters experience with the entire household of Cornelius in Acts 10:47: “Surely no one can stand in the way of their being baptized with water. They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have.”
Chief Apostle Schneider also explains the difference between a "firstling" (Exclusive to the NAC) (Bride of Christ) (childhood in God), and a regular "child of God". He explains that all mankind are children of God, but only those sealed by the NAC Apostle ministry can attain "childhhood in God" and become a "firstling" (Bride of Christ). He teaches that all Christians who have not been sealed by his Apostle ministry cannot become the Bride of Christ (a firstling).
