Abstract
In an ecumenical study of the Holy Spirit we perceive that charismatic experience appears to be a new reality, remarkably shaping and constructing a theological view of the Holy Spirit on a personal, sacramental, and social level. A theological appreciation of the experience argues that the human self as such is regarded as the cumulative product of one’s experience. Thus, human existence is seen as the totality of one’s experience. Human experience is not static, but dynamic, growing and developing in an ongoing way, incorporating human feelings in the higher form of faith journey in relationship with the Spirit.1
