Yes, the Holy Spirit is part of the Trinity: the father, the son, and the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit was responsible for the miracle at Pentecost, where people speaking different languages from different countries were blessed with a miracle where all could understand each other.
ANSWER:
The concept of a 'trinity' is not Scriptural but man-made developed in the early RC Church. Scripture speaks of the Holy Spirit as the 'power of God' emanating from Him, sustaining all things. There are numerous verses describing this theme such as Luke 1:35:
Luke 1:35
New International Version (NIV)
35 The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called[a]the Son of God.
The RC Church frankly admitted as such in this quote concerning the Scriptural teaching on the nature of the Holy Spirit, "As such, the Spirit is never the explicit object of NT worship, nor is the Spirit ever represented in NT discourse as interacting in an interpersonal way with the Father and the Son." (The Roman Catholic New Theological Dictionary article, 'Trinity').

Do you mean holy water? if so...holy water is used in baptism to represent the holy spirit. This is used because when Christians believe in Jesus, the holy spirit enters them.
All disciples of Jesus Christ are indwelt by the Holy Spirit. The first disciples on the Day of Pentecost received the Holy Spirit at that time. The Holy Spirit has a manifold ministry pertaining to Christians. Comforter, teacher, empowerer, convictor, witness, helper etc. etc. The Holy Spirit is the same to Christians today as Jesus was to the disciples when He was on earth except the Holy Spirit is not visible and for most Christians a difficult Holy Person to understand because of the "conversation" between The Spirit and our spirit. There are many things the disciples of Christ could not do without the Holy Spirit.
Pentecost is very important in that on the Day of Pentecost the disciples of Jesus Christ were given the Holy Spirit to dwell in them permanently. Sometime later the Holy Spirit was given to the Samaritan believers in Jesus and then a little bit later the Holy Spirit was given to the Gentile believers in Jesus. The Holy Spirit is what is so different in Christians from other persons. The Holy Spirit has been around from ever, but not until the Christian period began did the Holy Spirit indwell persons (Christians) like He does today. I Corinthians 2:14, " But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned." The natural man will never know the things of God or what the Bible truly says because they do not have the Holy Spirit dwelling in them.
sooo?
The Christians' bodies.
Answer:Jesus Christ, other Christians and non-Christians help Christians.
For Hindus, the Holy Spirit does not exist, just as Christians believe that Vishnu does not exist.
Christians believe that the Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Trinity. God the Father, and God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. This would make the Holy Spirit a He. Through out Scripture the attributes of God and a real person are attributed to the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is a He and not an it.
Refers to those Christians that believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, and those gifts are available for our use today. Word derived from the day of Pentecost. (When the Apostles and believers first received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit).
No. Christians believe that their body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. God gives his Holy Spirit to all who believe.
In the gospels we read that when Jesus was baptized in the Jordan river by John the Baptist, the Holy Spirit descended in the form of a dove. So Christians have used the dove to depict the Holy Spirit, because the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead and therefore He is very important. When Jesus ascended to the right hand of the Father, the Holy Spirit was sent to indwell and empower believers in their life of faith.
It is in the bible. specifically in acts.
