How did the Holy Spirit use Luke to gather information for his Gospel and Acts?

Of course, Luke the physician and companion of Paul was unlikely to have been the real author of this Gospel or of Acts of the Apostles, both of which were originally anonymous until attributed to him later in the second century. Luke 1:2 gives us a summary of how our 'Luke' gathered his information for the Gospel: "Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word." In other words, the information was delivered to Luke's community ("us") in written form through a chain of writers, the earliest of which Luke believed to have been eyewitnesses.
We now know that the writings that were delivered to Luke were Mark's Gospel and the hypothetical 'Q' document (it is 'hypothetical' because we have no extant copy, although its former existence is almost universally accepted by scholars). Luke also found information in the Old Testament to be useful in writing his gospel.

which book in bible is called the Gospel of the Holy Spirit?
The acts of the apostles is called the Gospel of the Holy Spirit.
What would have happened to the Church if the Holy Spirit had not come to the apostles on the Day of the Pentecost?
A:The Holy Spirit is reported in Acts 2:1-4 as coming to the apostles some forty days after the Resurrection of Jesus, on the Day of Pentecost, as tongues of flame. A little-known account in John's Gospel (John 20:22) also has the disciples receiving the Holy Spirit when Jesus breathed on them, on the same day as the Resurrection. Had the author of Acts not reported the disciples receiving the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost, no doubt the parallel account in John's Gospel would have received greater prominence, with the Church proceeding much as it did.

How many times did the disciples receive the Holy Spirit?
The Holy Spirit seems to have been needed only once, to impart the powers required by an apostle. John's Gospel says that on the day of his resurrection, Jesus breathed on the apostles in the upper room, giving them the Holy Spirit. Acts of the Apostles says that the Holy Spirit came down like tongues of flame on the day of the Pentecost and sat on each of the apostles.This anomaly can be explained because the author of Actscertainly did not know of the existence of John's Gospel, while the author of John probably did not know of the existence of Acts, even though he did know of the somewhat earlier Luke's Gospel. Each sought to demonstrate that the apostles received the Holy Spirit, and each provided his own unique account.

What does the words in Acts chapter 1 verse 8 mean?
Acts 1:8, " But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." The Holy Spirit was given and entered the apostles 10 days ( Day of Pentecost) after Jesus ascended. The mission of spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ was first given to them, that was their ministry (To be witnesses for Jesus). The Holy Spirit empowered them to do this. A witness is a person who tells the truth about Jesus Christ. All true Christians have the Holy Spirit dwelling within them and this is their power source, and have the responsibility to continue spreading the Gospel.
