Hi Phat,

So who or what is this Spirit that Stephen has? Why do people hate him so much? Does it appear he was right or wrong?
1. The Spirit that Stephen had is the same one that seals the spirit of a male/female when they come to the point in their life they realize there is nothing they can do to merit eternal life that God gives as a free gift. When they come to that conclusion and address God asking for mercy believing that He can save them and He will save them and give them eternal life by trusting in what was finished on the cross of Calvary when God in the flesh gave His life to reconcile mankind to Himself.
2. I am sure that those who were recepants of miracles he preformed did not hate him.
The only people who hated him was those who were threatned by his ministry. The Jewish religious hierarchy that was in charge of the Temple wanted him out of the way just as they wanted Jesus out of the way.
3. I would say what Stephen was doing was right and the Scripture testifies to that fact.
Acts 7:55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
Jesus went to heaven and sit down by His Fathers side but when Stephen was facing death Jesus stood up to receive him into His presence.
God Bless,
