When did Jesus receive the Holy Spirit?
The gospels say that Jesus received the Holy Spirit and was adopted by God as his son, at the time of his baptism (Mark 1:9-10): "And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan. And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:"A countervailing view is in the later Christian tradition that Jesus was divine and pre-existing, and equal with the Holy Spirit as two persons of the Holy Trinity. This theological position would seem to suggest that Jesus had no need to receive the Holy Spirit.

AnswerThe New Testament was written for an audience that needed some sort of proof, even if that proof need only be unsophisticated by today's standards.
