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.

When did Jesus disciples receive the holy spirit?

In John 20:17, on Resurrection morning, Jesus had Mary go and tell the disciples He was returning to the Father. That night, He appeared to them in the Upper Room and invested them with the Holy Spirit. (John 20:22) During the day He had been to Heaven and returned. I believe He was sprinkling His blood on the altar in Heaven in His final act of atonement as our High Priest (Hebr. 9:11-12) . During the next 40 days He taught them about God's Kingdom. Then, as He was leaving Earth, He told them to wait in Jerusalem until the Holy Spirit came upon them in power. (Acts 1:8) This was a special manifestation of the Holy Spirit that resulted in the birth of the Church, but the Holy Spirit had dwelt within them since the night of the Resurrection.
