A:Acts of the Apostles says that on the day of Pentecost, fifty days after the Resurrection, everyone that was in the upper room was filled with the Holy Spirit coming down on them as tongues of fire. However, a different reading has the same disciples receive the Holy Spirit on the very evening of the resurrection of Jesus. The author of John's Gospel certainly knew of Luke's Gospel but probably not Acts of the Apostles or the story of Pentecost. John 20:22 has Jesus breathe on the disciples and give them the Holy Spirit, a full fifty days before Luke's Pentecost, which John makes superfluous. Answer:Scripture doesn't make it specifically clear why the disciples had to wait; only that Jesus told them to.

Luke 24:49 - "Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high." [NKJV]

However, the Day of Pentecost is highly appropriate, in that the original Jewish feast was also known as "Firstfruits," when sacrifices were made from the early spring harvest (Leviticus 23:16, 17).

Jesus is also spoken of as "firstfruits:"

1 Corinthians 15:20 - But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

Furthermore, all Christians are said to be a "kind of firstfruits."

James 1:18 - Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.

Considering this, it seems fitting that the Holy Spirit was poured out on the Day of Pentecost, the Feast of Firstfruits, and the first Christians were added to Christ's "newborn" church on that day.

When does the holy spirit enter into a 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.
