At this point, contra Pinnock and others, it is important to stress that this general work in the OT does not entail that the Spirit's presence is always a saving or transforming presence (e.g., Balaam, Saul).'°' Nor should we hastily conclude that what is true of a particular individual in Scripture is true of the whole of humanity. As Sinclair Ferguson wisely reminds us, we cannot assume from the fact that the Spirit endowed Bezalel with gifts of design and craftsmanship (Ex 31:1-15) that all artistic gifts, however used, are general endowments of the Spirit,102 let alone evidence of God's saving presence. Yes, the Spirit is described as the one who works in relation to the created order, but it is clear, in both the OT and NT, that this general ministry of the Spirit should not always be identified with the Spirit's work in saving grace. It is possible for the former to be present when the latter is not. 103
