When a person is saved by the Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit indwells that person. Some where, possibly in our spirit the Holy Spirit lives.

The church is the Body of Christ. Yes there are church buildings but these are mere buildings. Jesus Christ is the HEAD of the church and each saved person is added to the body of believers. Thus the church is indwelt by the Holy Spirit (Colossians 1:18; I Corinthians 6:19; I Corinthians 12:14; 12:27.)

What does your body is like a temple of the holy spirit mean?

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (King James Version)19What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.1 Corinthians 3:16 (King James Version)16Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? John 14:17 (King James Version)17Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. Acts 1:4 (King James Version)4And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. These verses indicate a number of things about the temple of the Holy Spirit. This is the physical body of the Christian believer, in whom the Holy Spirit dwells, as was promised by Jesus. This is also referred to in the verse directly above as the 'promise of the Father.' The temple is a reference to the form or structure in which the Spirit dwells. The consequence of this is that the believer has an awesome responsibility to live up to the high calling as well as not to grieve the Holy Spirit of God.Every person on earth is, in a sense, a temple, since all are made in God's image. Not every person is a temple of the Holy Spirit, since not everyone is a Christian believer.


What Do Confirmation means to other people?

I do not know what your view of confirmation is. Confirmation allows you to be filled with the holy Spirit and to be guided by it. This could mean less sinning and being able to evangelize through the power of the Holy Spirit. It makes you a full member of the Church and makes you more committed to the Church.

Do you mean et Spiritus Sancti? This would mean "and of the Holy Spirit", a phrase from the Christian benediction In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti, "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit".If the first word is really es, this would mean "you [singular] are of the Holy Spirit"; "you belong to the Holy Spirit".

What does the line 'We believe in the Holy Spirit' in the Apostle's Creed mean?

The Apostle's Creed is a collection of Christian doctrine. It contains the beliefs of Christian churches in the most basic form. Many would say that in order to be considered a true Christian Church that said church must hold the beliefs contained within the creed. The line "We believe in the Holy Spirit" means just that. The church saying the creed upholds the belief that the Holy Spirit is the third member of the Trinity and is something to be believed in just as Jesus is something to believe in.
