The Christian Pentecost story so closely parallels the Jewish Pentecost that it was arguably inspired by the earlier account. Acts of the Apostles was written in Greek, so the author could speak of the Holy Spirit and of a rushing mighty wind without ambiguity. When writing the story of Pentecost, he wanted to demonstrate awesome power and leave no doubt that something special really occurred, so used the physical symbols of a rushing mighty wind and fire. Of course, if the Holy Spirit really came upon the apostles, he had no need of these symbols - after all, the modern Church teaches that the Holy Spirit can come down on Christians without wind or fire.
A strong wind and tongues of fire. The Holy Spirit also gave the apostles the gift of tongues. This is thought to be either everyone they were speaking to hearing the Gospel message in their own language, or speaking in a language they did not know themselves but everyone understanding (the language of the Holy Spirit).
Gods living presence with people this can not been seen so a number of images are used to describe it wind, dove, water, breath and fire. Wind The Holy Spirit appeared as wind on the day of Pentecost Wind is very powerful, like the Holy Spirit You can't see the wind, but you know that it is there by its effects The effects of the Holy Spirit are his gifts Wind / air are essential for life - the Holy Spirit is essential for the life of the church Fire The Holy Spirit appeared as fire on the day of Pentecost Fire is very powerful much like the Holy Spirit Fire gives strength and purify and so can the Holy Spirit Fire can be used to guide, and the Holy Spirit guides the church
The Holy Spirit came at Pentecost as tongues of fire, resting on each of the apostles. This event empowered them to speak in different languages and proclaim the message of Jesus to people from various nations gathered in Jerusalem.
Well in the bible the holy spirit is a force that gd uses to do stuff. It does not have a material body and in turn it is a metaphysical entity. Much like fire does not have a physical form because you cannot grab fire.
On the day of the Pentecost in the upper room.Acts 2New King James Version (NKJV) Acts 2Coming of the Holy Spirit1 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord[a] in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.The 1st Pentecost fell on a Sunday and was 50 days (meaning of word) from the day of Jesus' Resurrection (Saturday - 7x7=49 plus 1 day).
The Holy Spirit Came in the form of Tongues of Fire.

Tongues of fire
A strong wind and tongues of fire. The Holy Spirit also gave the apostles the gift of tongues. This is thought to be either everyone they were speaking to hearing the Gospel message in their own language, or speaking in a language they did not know themselves but everyone understanding (the language of the Holy Spirit).
Because on the Day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit Came down from Heaven, in the form of a Rushing Wind.
