After the descent of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2, the apostles began to speak in various languages, enabling them to communicate with a diverse crowd gathered in Jerusalem for Pentecost. This miraculous event drew attention, and Peter delivered a powerful sermon, proclaiming Jesus as the Messiah and calling for repentance. About three thousand people were baptized that day, marking the beginning of the Christian church and the spread of the gospel. The believers then devoted themselves to teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer, fostering a strong community.
The book of Acts says they came in large numbers and got baptised in the holy spirit.
Acts is sometimes referred to as 'The Acts of the Holy Spirit.'
Pentecost
The Outpouring of the Holy Spirit occurred in Acts 2V1- Day of Pentecost. In Acts 2, I am sure you know the story - where the disciples were all in one place with one accord and suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind and it filled the house where they were sitting. It was at this point that that cloven tongues of fire came upon them like fire and it sat upon them.........and so on. They were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. This is when the outpouring of the Holy Spirit happened.
It is in the bible. specifically in acts.
Actually The Holy Spirit was the gift. The gift was to be filled with the holy spirit as a comforter and a way to pray to GOD an pure, unselfish pray.Roman Catholic Answer: The above answer is correct. The Holy Spirit was the gift. St. Peter told them "Do penance and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins: and you shall receive the Holy Spirit." Acts 2:38.
In the Book of Acts, the most important sign of salvation is the reception of the Holy Spirit. This is evidenced in several instances, such as during Pentecost when the apostles are filled with the Spirit and speak in tongues (Acts 2), and when Gentiles receive the Holy Spirit as a confirmation of their faith (Acts 10). The transformative power of the Holy Spirit in believers' lives signifies their acceptance into the community of faith and their new identity in Christ.
