Ten days after Jesus ascended to heaven, the Jewish Festival of Pentecost 33 C.E. takes place. About 120 of the disciples are assembled in an upper room in Jerusalem. Suddenly, a noise just like that of a rushing stiff breeze fills the whole house. Tongues as if of fire become visible, one upon each of those present. The disciples all begin to speak in different languages. This is the outpouring of the holy spirit that Jesus had promised!-John 14:26

When you receive the holy spirit where does he specifically dwell in the body?
I can not answer this as to where in the body the Holy Spirit dwells, mainly because I do not know specifically where in my body my spirit dwells.

Scriptures for how do you know your filled with the holy spirit?
In the Scriptures there are many examples of what happened to people after the Holy Spirit came upon them. There are two moments for the Holy Spirit to work in your life, first is upon Salvation and the Holy Spirit dwells within you - afterwards the fruit of the spirit are evident like peace, joy, patience, kindness, long suffering, etc. But the 2nd one was the Power button of Christianity and where the Gifts of the Spirit are given and operate. This is the one that I'm giving Scriptures for:Acts 1:8, "But you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends (the very bounds) of the earth." (Power to be a witness)Acts 2:4, "And they were all filled (diffused throughout their souls) with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit kept giving them clear and loud expression [in each tongue in appropriate words]." (Spoke in tongues)Acts 4:31, "And when they had prayed, the place in which they were assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they continued to speak the Word of God with freedom and boldness and courage." (Boldness to speak the Word)Acts 9:31, "So the church throughout the whole of Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace and was edified [growing in wisdom, virtue, and piety] and walking in the respect and reverential fear of the Lord and in the consolation and exhortation of the Holy Spirit, continued to increase and was multiplied." (peace & encouragement and a respect for God)Acts 10:38, "How God anointed and consecrated Jesus of Nazareth with the [Holy] Spirit and with strength and ability and power; how He went about doing good and, in particular, curing all who were harassed and oppressed by [the power of] the devil, for God was with Him." (power to do good and to heal)Acts 19:6, "And as Paul laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spoke in [foreign, unknown] tongues (languages) and prophesied." (spoke in tongues and prophesied)Romans 15:13, "May the God of your hope so fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound and be overflowing (bubbling over) with hope" (unshakeable joy, peace and hope)That's just an introduction.
What is light used in Christianity?
In many ways. It radiates God's greatness and power via His Holy Spirit - see 1 Peter 4:14. In Ephesians 1:17-20, we are 'enlightened with God via His spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. As a light can be a small flicker of a flaming match to a house fire to a blazing sun or galaxy, light overpowers darkness (Satan and his demons) and reveals truths and reality (Jesus came to fill to the brim God's Laws and teach us about the Father). When repentant and baptized Christians receive God's Holy Spirit begetting them into the God Family, the Holy Spirit turns on a light of understanding in the mind.
Can you get upset when you are fill with the Holy Spirit?
Yes. You can choose to walk In the perfect and complete righteousness of Christ, also known as walking in the spirit. Jesus died so we are covered with His righteousness and that is all God sees. Or we can choose to walk in the flesh which means to choose our own will. What we feel is best for us. Feelings are flesh and of the world. Feelings are part of your soul not your perfect spirit.
