Theses verses tell about the coming of the HS when the believers were meeting together at Pentecost, after Jesus had returned to heaven.
Act 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
Act 2:2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
Act 2:3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
Act 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
The Bible says that the Spirit of God (the Holy Spirit) was hovering over the waters in the creation. See Gen 1:2: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Gen%201:2;&version=31;
You can begin by reading Genesis 1:2.
The Holy Bible refers to the Holy Spirit
Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Holy Spirit
You don't write a sermon from the Bible, you read a passage and let the Holy Spirit give you the sermon. Read a passage then write some foot notes and then hold on to the pulpit ! If it be the Lords will he will give you that sermon! Praise God !
The biblical meaning of "Holy Ghost" is "Holy Spirit". The word is seen in The Bible, where the Holy Ghost is replaced by Holy Spirit insinuating the spirit of God.
The phrase "holy spirit" is in the King James Version of the Bible 7 times. It is in 7 verses.
The Holy Spirit is mentioned throughout the New Testament.
The Holy Bible was written by men of this earth. It was inspired by the Holy Spirit which is the third person of the Holy Trinity.
There isn't actually a Scripture in the Bible that says that. But only true Christians possess the Holy Spirit within them (I Corinthians 6:19) and he will continue to be in them and not leave. Unbelievers do not have the Holy Spirit in them. In the Old Testament the Holy Spirit would come upon certain people whom God wanted to use, but generally the Holy Spirit did not abide in any person.
The answer to this question is unknown since it is not written specifically in the Bible. The Bible mentions the Holy Spirit but not specifically when we receive it. In Psalm David asks God not to take the Holy Spirit away from him, which means David had The Holy Spirit and was afraid God would take it away. In the New Testament Jesus says to his disciples that He is leaving but will send a 'Helper', this is considered to be the Holy Spirit. Pentecost is about the Disciples receiving The Holy Spirit. So, although the Bible talks about The Holy Spirit, it does not tell us when we receive or why.
