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. So, the Holy Spirit never worked silently and invisibly, as presumably he could have, but descended as a dove (the baptism of Jesus) or as a wind or as tongues of flame (pentecost). It is the necessary evidence that the Holy Spirit was really there in person.
