The answer depends upon which sect of Christianity you believe in as some consider God a trinity, while others do not.
For those who consider the God Family to currently be the Father and the Son, the Father is Supreme. These believe the Holy Spirit of God, aka the Spirit of Christ, is the 'outflowing power of the God Family' that sustains Creation. An example in Scripture is Luke 1:35 with multitudes of others throughout The Bible.
Christianity today looks nothing like the Church of God, Jesus established in 31 AD. Today, via man's interpretations of Scripture, it might well be called, 'the rainbow coalition of churchianity.' Some estimate there are thousands, if not tens of thousands, of varying sects and shades of beliefs/politics.

Is the Holy Spirit the power for Christian ethics?
If Christians were able to avail themselves of a power for ethics, not available to non-Christians, then it would be reasonable to expect that Christians would live nobler lives and behave more ethically than do non-Christians. Since we know this not to be the case, the Holy Spirit can not be a genuine force for Christians to assist them in ethical living.

Holy Ghost was how the King James Version of the bible translated the name in 1611 but 20th century English translators tended to feel that "ghost" carried a more paranormal rather than supernatural connotation.

When did the Apostles receive the gift of the Holy Spirit?
AnswerThe apostles received the gift of the Holy Spirit on either of two occasions, depending on which source is used: In John's Gospel at 20:22, Jesus breathed on the ten apostles (with Thomas absent) and gave them the Holy Spirit in the upper room on the evening of his resurrection. Elaine Pagels says there is a thread of anti-Thomas sentiment in this Gospel, and this is demonstrated by the omission of Thomas.In Acts of the Apostles, the Holy Spirit descended on the apostles on the day of the Pentecost, more than forty days after the resurrection of Jesus.
Is the holy trinity mentioned in the Old Testament?
Not by the name "Trinity" but the Holy Spirit is mentioned in the first verse of the Bible and Jesus visits Abraham and Samsons parents, as well as Shadrak, Meshak and Abendigo (don't know correct spelling on their names). God is also mentioned of course numorous times so I think that the Holy Trinity is mentioned often, though not by name.Another Answer:The term 'holy trinity' is not Scriptural. It is a vain attempt by men in the 4th Century, AD, to describe the Godhead - confusing God's Holy Spirit as a person.The Holy Spirit is not a separate person or being, but is rather the power and the means by which God transmits His will, influence and presence.Rather than describing the Holy Spirit as a distinct person or entity, the Bible most often refers to it as, and connects it with, God's divine power (Zechariah 4:6; Micah 3:8). Jewish scholars, examining the references to it in the Old Testament Scriptures, have never defined the Holy Spirit as anything but the power of God.In the New Testament, Paul referred to it as the spirit of power, love and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Informing Mary that Jesus would be supernaturally conceived in her womb, an angel told her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you . . . ," and he defined this as "the power of the Highest," which "will overshadow you" (Luke 1:35). Jesus always said He is His Father's Son and no one elses.

What does this verse means You should know that your body is a temple for the Holy Spirit who is in you If you have received the Holy Spirit from God So you do not belong to yourselves...?
When a person accepts Jesus Christ as their personal Savior the Holy Spirit comes and dwells in that person. That person's body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. You should honor your body as the Holy Spirit dwells there. He was given to you by God when you accepted His Son Jesus. Now your body belongs to God. He created it and He will renew it when you are resurrected. This is one of the reasons we obey God because we belong to Him , body, soul, and spirit. Why were we given the Holy Spirit to dwell within us? To be a helper to us. He comforts us in times of trouble. He helps us in our prayers to God. He convicts us if we sin and leads us back to God. He illuminates the Holy Word to us as we read and He teaches us. He witnesses to us that we are the children of God. And He does much more for us than we can imagine.
