The Church BEFORE Pentecost

I do see that certain beliefs about the baptism of the Holy Spirit make it hard to entertain the possibility that the church existed before the day of Pentecost.

But why do those beliefs make it so hard to understand the church existed prior to Pentecost? Do they assume the personal presence of the Second Person of the Godhead is inferior to the personal presence of the Third Person of the Godhead? What could the Holy Spirit do that Christ could not do? Except, of course, as Christ was limited by His physical body, He could only be the Head of one church, the one at Jerusalem, but after He ascended, He, through the agency of the Holy Spirit could be the Head of all churches!

Where was the church before Pentecost?

OOOOHHHHH, but the church was in the mind of Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent Jesus! Amen?

What happened at Pentecost? Jesus just opened His mind and what was invisable suddenly became visable! His church became visable!
