Pentecost symbol The Dove
What does this mean to you?
I hope this leads to some debate concerning cessationist and charismatic Christianity.

Get about a dozen, and a pound of bacon, and some sliced jalapeños, and a hot grill...and it means a great meal. I have never had a white dove...We have White Wing and Mourning Doves out here, with a few Incas sprinkled in. Very tasty!

@peterleeAs a life long Christian, in the US, we recognize the symbol of the fish and the cross as relating to God and Jesus.
Perhaps you still have a bit of the Church of England in you and still feel the need to tell others what religious symbols they must use?
But you show me where , in the bible, its says "thou shall not eat doves", and I will stop!

@TexChik According to William Sesrack in his book: Montanism, A beginners guide. All the symbols I’ve mentioned were around until at least 500AD
The Church of England, as always holds a wide range of views concerning the work of The Holy Spirit. In one I go to, Anglocatholic, they reject speaking on tongues, prophesy and healing, but focuses on incense and ritual, and formal prayer . It sees the Bible as a resource.The work of the Holy Spirit finished with the formation of the New Testament. The Eucharist is central.
Another which I often worship in, takes the Holy Spirit as central, with speaking in tongues, prophesy, and healing. The Bible is considered, the word of God. Much more dynamic.
