Where is the Bible verse that shows the Holy Spirit as being everywhere?
There are several Bible verses that appear to demonstrate that the Holy Spirit is NOT everywhere. In Mark 1:10, Jesus saw the heavens open and the Spirit descend like a dove. Here the Holy Spirit was in heaven and came physically down to Jesus, in the likeness of a dove. In John 20:22, the risen Jesus breathed on the disciples, saying, "Receive ye the Holy Ghost." The Holy Ghost was not everywhere, but had to come from Jesus. In Acts 2:3-4, the Holy Ghost came like tongues of fire and settled on the disciples. Again, the disciples could not receive the Holy Spirit until it descended on them in the likeness of flames.

Did Thomas ever receive the Holy Spirit?
John's Gospel, which Elaine Pagels sees as containing an element of anti-Thomas narrative, has Thomas miss out on receiving the Holy Spirit. The Gospel says that Jesus met the disciples in an upper room in Jerusalem, with Thomas absent, and breathed on each of the disciples and gave them the Holy Spirit. He met the disciples again a few days later, when Jesus showed 'Doubting Thomas' his wounds, but did not give him the Holy Ghost. However, Acts of the Apostles was in a somewhat different tradition, in which the disciples clearly had not received the Holy Spirit before Jesus was taken up into heaven. In this story, all the disciples - Thomas included - received the Holy Spirit as tongues of fire on the day of Pentecost.

How many times did the disciples receive the Holy Spirit?
The Holy Spirit seems to have been needed only once, to impart the powers required by an apostle. John's Gospel says that on the day of his resurrection, Jesus breathed on the apostles in the upper room, giving them the Holy Spirit. Acts of the Apostles says that the Holy Spirit came down like tongues of flame on the day of the Pentecost and sat on each of the apostles.This anomaly can be explained because the author of Actscertainly did not know of the existence of John's Gospel, while the author of John probably did not know of the existence of Acts, even though he did know of the somewhat earlier Luke's Gospel. Each sought to demonstrate that the apostles received the Holy Spirit, and each provided his own unique account.
